Ram and Sita had always shared a deep bond over their love for music and devotion. One day, their close friend Shiva invited them for a casual gathering. Over cups of tea and lively conversations, Shiva suggested, "Why don't we create a music video dedicated to the hymn Om Jai Jagdish Hare? It could be a beautiful tribute to Lord Ganesh and other Hindu gods." Inspired by the idea, Ram and Sita immediately agreed.

Emin's video CV is an accompaniment to her work on paper, Tracey Emin CV 1995 (Tate T07632), which is a potted history of the artist's professional and emotional life from conception until 1995. This CV, read aloud by Emin, constitutes the sound-track to the video and provides contrasting background to the visual information on display. As Emin narrates her story of trauma and abuse, mixed with pleasure and success, the video takes the viewer on a journey through the artist's home. The artist is not visibly present in person until the last frames when she appears curled up naked on the floor of her sitting-room at the feet of her mother (who wears black sunglasses and looks away from both her daughter and the camera). Like Emin's handwritten CV, the video constitutes her self-portrait, in this instance adding the component of a journey around the space of her apartment to her narrating voice. -Tate
