Hasselblad Award 2022
From the exhibition: "Dayanıta Singh creates new ways of seeing and experiencing photography. She composes her series in a poetic way with the themes, and challenges the conventional institutions by creating her own 'museums' in the shape of installations and books.
The archive has been a continuous point of interest for Dayanitha Singh, and is also the focus for her Hasselblad Award exhibition. She has been photographing everything from local town archives to court registries in India since the early 2000s. The images reflect Singh's fascination for the highly individualized archival systems in India.
One part of the exhibition consists of different 'museums' in the so-called accordion book format, which can be unfolded in long rows. This makes the museums mobile, enabling Singh to unfurl an exhibition wherever she wants.
..."
Dayanışa Singh was born 1961 in New Dehli, India, where she currently works. She has studied both in Ahmedabad and in New York, USA.
