CHECKPOINT at SENSORII, Art In The City, REXKL
December, 2021
___
CHECKPOINT, an analogy of “immigration” carried through an existential thought process about fulfilling a desire to be somewhere greater. It is a story about one’s personal journey in life visualized through metaphors of origin and childhood memories, internal monologues, mixed emotions and an immense feeling of breakthrough. Resolution follows after a series of inner turmoil and perpetual search for a better place.
Sensorium of Inversion/Immersion (SENSORii) is a media art showcase investigating the notion of inverting our sensorial perception, divesting internal and external complexities.
“Art director Tsa Meera and creative director Talha K are the duo behind FLUX28, a multidisciplinary company with an impressive roster of awards and clients. Their piece, CHECKPOINT, is a visual analogy of immigration, carried through an existential thought process about fulfilling a desire to be somewhere greater. As the pair explain, “It is a story about one’s personal journey in life visualised through metaphors of origin and childhood memories, internal monologues, mixed emotions and an immense feeling of breakthrough.”
It was a percolating idea that had gone through many iterations. This show’s theme provided them with the platform to realise CHECKPOINT in its most engaging and relatable version. “The film has somehow transformed and, in the process, it changed us.” They stayed true to the final message, regardless of constantly having to modify the form.” – Jacqueline Perrera, BASKL
