This video was made during a one month held in the walled city of Delhi in April 2006. One early morning I found a boy using a powerful magnet to unearth iron pieces from the street. His search was quite unusual because of the way it was conducted. His detachment with the objects which he finds time to time while he drags the metal detector on the road make us think about the way in which a city functions. His tool: a magnet attached to a long wooden stick; operates as a technical device in a general sense but strictly functions as a mediator between the street and his daily bread. The search he is engaged in demystify the “searches” we are familiar with as modern metaphors.
