Silence of the Fury by Dimple B Shah

© 2021 Dimple B Shah @dimplebshah & Live-Action


“Although the Pandemic is there for one and a half years, it was not as fearful and terrible as in the second wave, especially in India. The April and May Month of 2021 was tough traumatic and horrible. It got chills to our spines when we saw mass deaths and graves in different cities of India. Cremation grounds were with piles of Burning bodies in almost all Cities, innumerable people dying with entire families wiped out in large. The Government's official record reports around seven lakh deaths. It was nowhere to match the actual as per sources. It unofficial reported twenty-five lakh deaths. The cremations grounds were overflowing. Graveyards had no space, floating unclaimed bodies in the river, the river beds were full of dead bodies, and some cities built massive Crematoriums to deal with the number of deaths. The smell of death was all around. Social media was flooded with the news of condolences messages and news of death constantly. We lost many close friends and family members. This video is about the silent anguish, agony, and misery that we experienced and encountered during the period, and the performance is about unregistered deaths and unclaimed bodies. The deep thought towards the lost soul was a silent protest to make every death count.”

Work: Decolonising Ritual –The Scent of Earth




Instagram: @dimplebshah

Decolonising Ritual –The Scent of Earth is a ritual that attempts to establish a deeper bond with nature. The complex histories of colonialism, where humans have sailed seas, extracted wealth and ruled countries such as India for money, power and greed has left the ecosystem of the planet in a significant crisis. To the audio backdrop of the Last Batch Of British Troops Leave India (1948) | British Pathé, Dimple will transit through thoughts and actions, reflecting upon colonization while attempting to reacquaint with what it means to be part of the Earth’s ecosystem.
