HEARTLAND
State laws become palpable once borders are crossed. This compilation of film clips present cultural and infrastructural shifts from the backseat of auto rickhsaws in Uttar Pradesh.

The soundtrack of ambient recordings from a vibrant culture of automotives, music and lights prohibited in Delhi plays against a seismographic image of decaying roads promptly felt once the vehicle exits the capital's limits.
