Straight 8 is an exploration of a collection of 8mm home movies of film enthusiast Tom D’aguiar, an Anglo-Indian who lived in Bangalore. Drawn from home movies made around the 1940s, we see scenes of everyday life around Tom’s house including amateur fictional thrillers shot with his friends and graceful dances of the renowned figure Ram Gopal. Instead of a nostalgic re-presentation of the past, the video creates montages of everyday personal life strung together with personal anecdotes that indicate a precision about the domesticated use of technology. Through its enigmatic grainy images, Straight 8 evokes an enticing realm of memory and imagination that governs the relations technology, creativity, and ordinary lives of people.

Ayisha Abraham

Lives and works in Bangalore, India Ayisha Abraham’s work includes installations, short digital films and artist’s books. Much of her work has been about looking for and working with found material–old photographs and 8mm home movies. She plays with the original form by cutting, repositioning, repeating images and sound, and by chan­ging the scale she transports the viewer into confronting a world where the everyday begins to look strange and unfamiliar. Her work engages with notions of memory, history, migration and the natural world. Ayisha Abraham’s art is conceptual and addresses audiences at home and internationally. She works at Srishti Institute of Art, Design and Technology and has been a member of the artist’s collective Bar1 (Bengaluru Artist’s Residency).
