Artists Wanted/chashama

This video wraps three videos in diverse styles and themes into one three-minute video piece, "Artists Wanted/chashama."

Vicki DaSilva
"Jasmine / Never Sorry (for Ai Weiwei)", 2011 (excerpt)
"Jasmine/Never Sorry (for Ai Weiwei)" is a tribute to Chinese activist and artist Ai Weiwei. DaSilva references freedom of speech through the jasmine fluorescence of her light graffiti.

Surabhi Saraf
"PEEL, 2009" (excerpt)
"PEEL" presents a visual echo of the instance of an unexamined moment. Simple gestures of a seemingly mundane daily activity morph into a complex choreography when multiplied.

Elly Cho
"Visual Kinematics: a state of mind (No.10)", 2011 (excerpt)
This video is part of a project series called "Visual Kinematics", in which Cho heightens the aesthetic contrast of the natural environment through black and white to evoke nostalgia for nature.
