India

Published on 2007 by Marg Publications

|For the past twenty-five years, a swirling mix of voices from India's past and present has shaped Indian photography and video art. The artists' gaze has been fixed on India's lives, revealing, interpreting and influencing the staid, chaotic, monochrome and colorful dimensions of a country of over one billion people. Some artists have bent the strong tradition of photojournalism to explore more subjective modes of photography that still include socially and politically engaged street photography. Some artists treat photography and video as overtly interpretive media that extend into social analysis, while others construct elaborate fictions with self-portraiture and performance to create deeply personal, often enigmatic narrative histories. All the artists represented in INDIA: Public Places, Private Spaces provide insight into the dynamics shaping the contemporary Indian psyche and landscape, including deeply rooted cultural practices, violent economic and political shifts, the pervasive influence of the media and the indomitable forces of class and caste. In the process, they also investigate identity as a social construct, engage with issues of gender and sexuality and explore the effects of population migrations.|--BOOK JACKET.
