The Deccan Trap is a sci-fi fable that goes back in space and time, with one layer at a time revealed from a cut out collage of stacked images. The piece travels from some of the newest 3D images being produced in India—at post-production studios converting outsourced Hollywood films from 2D to 3D—to some of the oldest—bas-relief carvings in Ellora’s rock cut temples in Maharashtra.
