Filmed, recorded and researched in Visva-Bharati campus at Santiniketan, Sriniketan and surrounding areas of Birbhum, West Bengal, O Horizon stages moments from Rabindranath Tagore’s extensive environmental pedagogy as a series of portraits, moods, studies and sketches that allude to what might be described as a Tagorean cosmopolitics. Drawing on the theories and practices of dance and song developed by Tagore as well as the murals, sculpture, painting and drawing created by artists such as K.G. Subramanyan, Benode Behari Mukherjee, Nandalal Bose and Ramkinkar Baij, whose work shaped the ethos of generations of Indian modernists - The O Horizon draws together dance, song, music and recital to assemble a structure of feeling, of the Tagorean imagination for the 21st Century.
Commissioned by Bauhaus imaginista and co-produced by the Rubin Museum, New York.
