The back-ground seems distant and dissociated from anything that can be felt.
The videos of congested house-cluster and river waves on the Tele[scopic]Vision are documents from a so-called ‘ backward’ home; the third image-artifact, manifests a possible ‘upward-mobile’ future, of tiny appartments in massive rehabilitation-buildings, through which a migrant reaches for better life.
Shrined on the TV is an earthen figurine, anxiously-suffering-in-silence, empty-in-the-head; because from documentary to dream, nothing seems to re-present image-ination-s, erased by aired (caste-ideological) broadcasts.
