Quote of the day

The language of a captive community acquires certain durable habits; whole zones of reality cease to exist simply because they have no name

Departures

Musadiq Sanwal and Zsuzsanna Ardó, 18 - 11 - 2005
What do you get when you pair a Hungarian writer-photographer with a Pakistani musician? Answer: sublime photographs of the Danube, a narrated short story, set to the sound of the tabla and atmospheric Punjabi vocals, all presented in a multimedia slideshow format. Yep, only on openDemocracy!

Departures is my filmic story of loss and growth. The story is interlaced with my photos, mostly taken along the Danube while I was the Photographer in Residence at the André Kertész Museum. On my return to London, I collaborated with Musadiq Sanwal, a performer and composer from Pakistan, to create a soundscape for the story and the photos. Musadiq sings and I narrate the story - and it all sounds a little like this...

Please click on the image below to launch the slideshow:

To see the slideshow, you will need Flash player 6 which you can download here. The slideshow will start automatically when you click on the above image. You can choose to listen to the soundtrack and narration, or just the soundtrack. You can also choose to read the short story – displayed as “captions” underneath the images.

With huge thanks to Fernanda Ferretti!
