By title, INDOCAM is an India travelogue. But it's more than a video about a foreign place. Filmed on the sly, using a watch as a camera, it takes the viewers along like stowaways: visa office, subway, airport, immigration, supermarket, civic reception, art opening, religious ritual, or protest vigil. Experimental in genre, composited frame by frame from shaky footage and an erratic codec, INDOCAM looks at the fortuitous crisscross of the artist’s itinerary with other private lives and public events, some of which would shape the politics of India to this day.
