Kale and Kale

Kale and Kale

2007, video, 50 min.

Kale and Kale is an observational work that explores the subtle everyday interactions and relationships among an uncle and nephew, both nicknamed “Kale,” or “black one,” and their families in rural Nepal. The roles they play in the village, with their families, and outside of the village are gradually revealed by way of discrete vignettes. Through the pacing of the scenes and the length of shots, this ethnographic video is also a depiction of time and its passing in rural Nepal. The work invites the viewer to engage unhurriedly and sensorially with its subjects and their environment.
