ABOUT THE YELLOW LINE PROJECT:
The Yellow Line Project (YLP) aimed to create an experimental space for collaborative interactions between dance, film and the city of New Delhi. YLP invited collaborations between 6 choreographers and 6 media-artists. Each choreographer worked with a media artist to produce a short, 4-6 minute dance-film. The residency began with an intensive week of explorations into the genre of dance-films as well as workshops on site-specific performance, the city and specifically the city of Delhi.
The Yellow Line Project (YLP) was jointly supported by Royal Norwegian Embassy, Ministry of Culture, Japan Foundation, Pro Helvetia- Swiss Arts Council, The British Council, South East Dance, Bharat Forge and Meeto Memorial Award.

Ahmedabad International Arts Festival and Pro Helvetia New Delhi presents „come back to earth‟ by Swiss artist Ruth Buck in collaboration with Faculty of Arts & Humanities, Center for Environmental Planning and Technology University (CEPT).
The exhibition comprising a slideshow and photographic prints involves an exploration of photography as a reflective means of intervention and interpretation of society.
Ruth Buck was on a residency in India awarded by Pro Helvetia – Swiss Arts Council. The presented works are an outcome of her residency during which she travelled to different places in India capturing images and experiences on her camera.
'Come Back to Earth' is Ruth‟s unique and unusual way of discovering India. The focus of the work is directed towards the ground, which reveals a great deal about social organisation, rules and conditions. It tells of humans, habits, orderliness and regulations, cultures, home, beliefs, needs, desire, beauty, fears, ideals, difficulties, and more. The work raises many questions about the relationship between an individual and the public space and about how the need for control impacts space and property.
Swiss artist Ruth Buck was born in Römerswil, Switzerland. In her works, Ruth goes beyond the margins of art genres and operates in different art media. She produces tactile works and conceptual works with words, images and sounds.
