Artist's Statement

Family Tree is an installation of film, video, photographs and sound by Shumona Goel. Set in an old Colaba apartment, the installation responds not only to the changing nature of Bombay but also to the proliferation of Indian art and associated institutions such as art galleries.

Family Tree is a different approach to film and film art.
