Seats Next to Windows is a project initiated in 2017, which explores the textures of motion and stillness as experienced from the window seat of a moving vehicle. The interdependent nature of velocity and inertia can be experienced when a street appears to be in motion, while the viewer, though actually moving, feels momentarily still.
The project seeks to make an Archive of Moving Streets of different cities, with the hopes of seeing similar patterns of urbanity emerging in different parts of the world. The archive is made up of videos of varying lengths, which are in essence, recordings of daydreams which occurred while looking out the window. Being in transit is made special due of its liminality and because of the guiltless wandering of thoughts that is enabled by moments spent waiting for a destination.
