City of S'crap

WHEN STOP MOTION GIVES LIFE TO FOUND OBJECTS

In collaboration with Industrial Design Centre (IDC), IIT Bombay, 2014

What if a city could be animated with real characters?

Design students tend to spend a lot of time indoors, sketching on paper and screens. So I gave them a challenge to get outdoors - create magic from the mundane: discarded bottles, broken tables, chairs, tarpaulin sheets, anything from the dregs of the city. The students collaboratively created a quirky new cityscape from scrap, where real people animated this assembled world.
