THE LATENT CITY
A film by Krishnednu Bose,
EarthCare Films, september 2009
Contemporary art projects in public spaces are new to India and this is the
first of its kind. The art project 48°C PUBLIC.ART.ECOLOGY hopes to have
raised consciousness towards Delhi’s ecological concerns and that of the world.
The film explores this context and celebrates the confluence of art, ecology,
the city and it’s citizenry.
