Trash talk

With dina Amin

In the episode

  • What constitutes garbage is highly subjective, with some individuals or societies tending to discard things that others find useful or restorable. How do you define trash?
  • Do you consider your work as an act of Upcycling? How and why; either way?
  • What made you connect Stop motion and disassembling things to be an interesting exploration? What is the process like and what do you do exactly?
  • Is there any conscious effort of showing environmentally correct use of objects which people then tend to discard; thereby showcasing its value? Or is it still a fun exercise? Or do you try and illustrate a story by deconstructing & humanizing objects and narrating the object’s point of view?
  • How did it all land up in getting real work? If you can share any interesting case studies or collaborations?

Fun question: You have a problem with a capital D. How do you deal with autocorrect and grammar fixes are done by technology?
