Near and far sights / sites converge. 2015
Screenings on 7 February 2015
Golimar
Near and far sights/ sites converge was shot through a homemade telescope at Manora beach on a monsoon afternoon in 2014. A circular space was glimpsed, a war ship from the Pakistan Navy fleet, figures amongst the waves in abandonment and freedom. This sense of intimacy and freedom in a public space is shrinking, like the sea itself.
Manora is a restful anchor for the turbulence of Karachi, a space for non-elite leisure. Crossing the harbour on public taxi boats, visitors come to experience the expanse of horizon, a sight they often miss within the dense, congested spaces of the inner city.
