About this title
The 16mm black and white films Onanism and Still Life were the artist's open revolt against the orthodoxy of the traditional mores that restricted female sexuality in 1960s India. Her first film, Still Life is a five-minute self-portrait, in which Malani chose not to film herself, but trains the camera on her personal articles of clothing and books as they are dropped on a bed.
