Hemanter Aparanha A superannuated gentleman residing in the countryside is suddenly drawn into the world of theatre. The local group wants him in a Bengali version of a Pirandello play and he becomes involved with one of the players, a young girl in her twenties who, like him, is new to theatre. Against the backdrop of the pandemic and the imminent war in Ukraine, this story of a highly unlikely relationship unfolds even as a strictly conservative society looks on with baited breath. As the pandemic necessitates a hiatus in the rehearsals and the emptiness of his house engulfs him, the lonely gentleman gets sucked into a world of fantasy; his expectations build up and he becomes acutely sensitive to his milieu.

Third Hermeneutic Third Hermeneutic is an expanded cinema variant of the “new aesthetic” where the performance itself becomes a microcosm of relationships between digital (machine) vision governed by algorithm and software and its manifestation in the physical world. Like all digital works, it simulates an earlier already-familiar form, that of expanded cinema; however, it is an expansion that overlays the historical field with an entirely new, different set of formal approaches, in the process suggesting a re-imagining of what “expanded cinema” entails.

Second Hermeneutic In Second Hermeneutic, the visuals are created by a pair of graphic animated films projected so that they partially overlap, the animated bands and fields of color linked audibly to the soundtrack in an immediately synchronous way – as something appears on screen, there is a directly audible response. This sound emerges from his use of the video camera’s visual output run through his audioboard to the speakers: it is an analogue sonification of the video signal. As a purely audio-visual experience, the performance might seem similar to such early expanded cinema works as Paul Sharits’ Shutter Interface (1975) where a series of four film projectors overlap their frames, creating juxtapositions and combinations on screen – as in Second Hermeneutic; however, the difference is instantly apparent in the performance itself – the soundtrack emerges from the interaction of projected imagery resembling the bands and bars of an optical soundtrack, but with the addition of saturated color.
