Off/ On Line ❤️

How dreamy does it feel when in movies a boy looks into the girl’s eyes and asks her out? Or when reading your grandparents’ love letters and postcards that have treasured within them a lot of memories and emotions over the past fifty years or so. That was the old-school romance before the era of the internet. Love letters become emails, newspaper matrimonials become shaadi.com profiles and romance starts with a swipe right.

 

This film uses Embroidery and Stop motion animation to narrate the story of how romantic conversations have evolved over time with different social media platforms.

 

A collaboration between a team of designers and embroidery artisans; this project is part of the 25 x 25 Initiative by India Foundation for the Arts, supported by lead donor Kshirsagar-Apte Foundation, and philanthropy partners Titan Company Limited, and Priya Paul and Sethu Vaidyanathan.
