Description

(13 editions available) Two channel HD digital video projection, 15 minutes 29 seconds, colour, sound, looped, installed with mayian ingredients for whiteness. Documenting a generation of British-Indians still trying to locate themselves joining England’s “nation face”, intimacies between Punjabi and white working-class culture in Britain are imagined. Rituals only ever performed in the homeland are re-performed in a stereotypical Anglo-Indian home in Birmingham. Deliberately “low budget” the not knowing, the opacity, the untranslatability of living on the threshold of a culture that has always been just out of reach is captured. The cinematic conversation is opened to include the nuances of brown and white passing experience in a mixed-race (Great) Britannia. Through formal and conceptual juxtaposition, the work presents a complex and shifting relationship between histories of miscegenation, the immigrant identity, brown-white love, and how and what we choose to memorialise.
