the muggles

How would the royals fit-in today? Would they have funky English-sounding names? Would they embrace the contemporary, decry the mundane? Would they post Insta stories, delete facebook? Or would they find love in a hopeless place? Mixing ancient art with modern vectors, Alpa Machado’s miniature video vignettes imagine this through metaphors and beautiful Mughal forms. Music in each clip creates a subliminal layer cross-referencing the themes. Watch the animation trilogy at its best (with musique) here. Lastly, thanks to JK Rowling for inspiring the Mughal nomenclature with a twist.
