'The mythologist Joseph Campbell said that 'a temple is a landscape of the soul'. In Fragments of India, I've explored a similar potential in the temporal realm of video. Formal elements of Hindu, Muslim and Kain architecture were translated into moving images. The results were combined with the sounds of India to create a unique form that is a marriage of video and architecture.' - Van McElwee
