Macho Men and Flirtatious Women. Local language, hand drawn lithographic film posters and the larger, glossier offset film posters contribute largely to the visual culture and character of the streets of Bangalore.
This ongoing photographic series explores the roles and relationships of men and women in contemporary Indian cinema through the disjointed, layered and torn fragments that these film posters create.
Below is a one minute video sketch of the lithographic printers responsible for producing a large part of this output. The video was made in collaboration with video artist Smriti Mehra for the City One Minutes project.
