Found Green
2006
Single-channel video, stereo sound
13 minutes 4 seconds



Found Green is an earnestly absurd meditation on the expected, yet often unfulfilled, existence of greenery in Mumbai, India. Found Green unfolds as a combination search and adventure film following the journey of an optimistic local youth. Outfitted with a map of Ward E-IV of the city, he visits the spaces marked green on Mumbai’s official urban Development Plan.

Found Green was commissioned in context of an exhibition, first seen at the 10th Venice Architecture Biennale.
