DAYANITA SINGH : FILE MUSEUM

22 Nov 2012-26 Jan 2013

Overview

Frith Street Gallery is pleased to announce the exhibition of a new work by Dayanita Singh. With a practice based in photography, Singh explores how the viewer encounters an image and continuously experiments with new ways to show photographs in book form or as 'photographic architecture'. This show features a single structure composed of approximately 150 photographs. The structure may be presented in a number of different configurations according to its situation and is, in many ways, a new form akin to a book or museum. For File Museum the piece will be composed of photographs depicting document archives - ranging from the unexpected to the ordinary in their subject matter - in different locations throughout India.
