New Delhi-based Amar Kanwar has wor ked as an independent video maker for more than ten years. In his forty films he has explored, with his highly per sonalized view, a range of subjects that include health, ecology, philosophy, work, law, politics, art and education. From resistance movements among tribes in souther n Orissa, to traditional techniques f or collecting water in Rajasthan; from the traditionally male-dominated spheres to oracular poetry: His explor ation typically be gins with some apparently insignificant fact or idea, then broadens poetically to provide political, humanistic and philosophic reflection.
