Using his power of imagination, he extracts new meanings out of existing frames to prolong brief moments in them. The visual arc of this series ranges from romantic scenes, war and political imagery to landscapes from fantasy worlds. Juxtaposition of multiple stills from multiple films is the core of Hanbhi’s work.
