KCR (Installation)

ABOUT

KCR is a nine-channel, nonlinear installation project that explores the path of the defunct Karachi Circular Railway through stills, video, drone aerial footage, text and code, blurring the boundaries of documentary and art, and still and moving images. The project takes the viewer on a meditative journey through one of the world’s most complex and conflicted megacities, exploring its urban and human landscape.
