In Homestay, Kanan Dave documents the quotidian rituals of her grandfather’s life since his retirement. As his life slows and empties, Dave captures the mundanity of his routines set around the rise and fall of the sun. Immersing herself in his sensory experience, Dave considers her own feelings surrounding existence and the elasticity of time, and a new appreciation of the present tense. Through a series of black-and-white prints and video, Homestay explores the ephemerality of existence, as days of innocence turn to days of relinquishment.Kanan Dave is a photo artist from Mumbai.
