Otolith

Otolith links three historical moments: the
mutant future of the 22nd Century, the ambient fear of the early 21st Century
and the post independence era of the mid 20th Century. The voice-over addresses
the viewer from a dangerous future that positions the present as historical
ruin. This mode of address allows Dr Usha Adebaran Sagar, the fictional
narrator, who resides in a permanent state of weightlessness that prevents
habitation on Earth, to speculate on the evolution of humankind through an
investigation of the archives of her female ancestors: the 21st century
researcher Anjalika Sagar and Ms. Anasuya Gyan Chand, grandmother of Anjalika
and 20th century Indian feminist.
