MANUS AN ENCOUNTER WITH ART - Short Film
#Manus an encounter with art is a short film shot at Triveni Kala Sangam,
New Delhi to promote and spread the word for the book by the same title Manus.
Superb camera work by Sumit Sehgal and masterly edited by Suvankar Nandi.
Both art graduates from College of Art, New Delhi.
Presently they are involved with film making and designing.
Manus, has got more than 700 drawings and few interesting written snippets to enthrall all of you. It will come in a small format of a pocket book. I started working on this art series or art book project in 2012. Mostly done outdoors at Triveni Kala Sangam in Delhi. The person heading the place Mr. Amar Shridharani and his entire staff were very helpful and cooperative.
I owe a lot to this serene and the most creative place in Delhi for providing me with the space for the creation of the drawings. This short film is shot to generate awareness about the book.

MANUS will carry more than 700 Black & White drawings. A visual biography of our time will be there in your hand in a book format. Working in this project since 2012. Mostly done outdoors, on the spot. All genres of human dilemmas are touched upon. Please feel free to write on the wall of the MANUS page regarding the works.
REQUEST FOR CROWD FUNDING
Manus in Bengali means human in English or manav in Sanskrit. MANUS-the book of original drawings-is a “Tryst with Humanity”. It encompasses all human emotions and acts in this temporal world. MANUS, depicts fight for righteousness, various injustices, oppression, genocide, relationships, struggle for dignity and livelihood all across the world. The global scenario is presented here. An oasis, for all that makes us human. Born out of sheer observation of our daily nuances, laced in satire and social commentary is served in a black and white format to heighten the visual absorption of the playful lines. In year 2012, I conceptualised and started working on these series of drawings. Years of hard work will be offered to you in the form of this pocketbook (size approx: 17X14cm). Fluid, playful and sometimes detailed lines are interpreting today’s time. It encompasses the contemporary societal dilemmas faced by us and the individual’s dialogue of survival and triumph through the many hurdles and falls.
In this pocket-book, part of my on-going series of drawings titled "MANUS", more than 700 B&W drawings spread out over about 350 pages will quiver your senses. With its soft cover and small format, it will be handy enough for you to enjoy the book even while travelling. “MANUS” will be your constant companion: a compact visual reference book to engage with humanity and also with the self, in this time and age. It is designed to be a “COLLECTOR’S CHOICE”.
Looking actively for crowd funding of this book project. I intend to launch this book by March 2018, depending upon the funds I can collect for this project. Amount of Rs. 200,000 lakh (Rupees Two Lakh) will make this book project of 500 copies (limited edition) a dream come true. If the amount is of good standing then I can spend more on the number of copies and quality of the paper. My costs will be for designing, printing, pitching and launching of the book. Looking for your active support for this book project of drawings. I sincerely believe that people would stand with this book, MANUS.
One can directly transfer the amount to my bank account in Delhi (India). I will provide you with the bank details once you decide to contribute the amount to this book project. Email me or call me when you require the bank details. Any person who contributes minimum Rs.5000/- will be given one complimentary copy of the book. And any one contributing Rs.10,000/- or more will be given two complimentary copies of the book.
With a positive heart and much hope, sending you this request for support.
Awaiting your kind response. Please call or email me.
