Independence
Video / 9:10 mins
ABOUT THE WORK
Independence was filmed partly in London and Brighton when the decision in favour of Brexit was announced in June 2016. Scenes of protest, street life and museums are interspersed with scenes from the domestic life of two young brothers in Singapore. This film was first screened at Conversions at LASALLE's Institute of Contemporary Arts Singapore, an exhibition by Sharma focusing on his film and video work. Familiar details from recent and popular mediated memory gain new resonances in the contemporary turn of events.
