Dayanita Singh - Sea of files
- 2022
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Sea of Files highlights Singh’s consistent and unique engagement with the archive, both in a real sense (including the overflowing bundles of India’s public and private archives) and metaphorically: the archive as a vessel of cultural experience. The publication includes the essay "Collecting through the Camera" by Stefan Jensen and Louise Wolthers which gives an insight in Singhs remarkable visual world. The associative visual essay “Sea of Files” is shown in its entirety, as well as—for the first time in a publication—“Museum of Innocence (The Madras Chapter)” and other series engaging with the meanings and materiality of archives. A personal essay by Nobel Laureate Orhan Pamuk explores the lyrical, silent reality of Singh’s photographs of state archives, for him images of aura and melancholy that evoke the “texture of memory,” “an idea of poetic decrepitude and a sense of profundity,” as well as “dignified resistance even when the passage of time makes everything meaningless.” The book furthermore shows how Singh has paved new ways for engaging with photography, be it through humanist portraiture, or her innovative display structures and book objects which recast traditional notions of the museum and publishing.

Ingår i: Dayanita Singh - Sea of Files. - Göttingen, Germany : Steidl Verlag. - 9783969991541
-
Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This essay gives an introduction to Dayanita Singh's oeuvre – from early works such as "Museum of Innocence" (2008) to the more recent "Mona in the Archive" (2022). It highlights Singh’s engagement with the archive which is more than a recurring, captivating subject within her images as the artist has developed a highly inventive archival methodology for publishing and displaying her work. The essay reflects on the life of archives and the personal relations between document, archivist and viewer. Furthermore it highlights Singh's longstanding friendship with Mona Ahmed, whom Singh has continuously photographed and collaborated with. From 1989 when Singh was commissioned by The Times in London to photograph the socalled eunuchs in New Delhi, until the present day where Ahmed, even after her passing, continue to make an impact on Singh's work. Singh creates new ways of seeing and experiencing photography by diving, through her elaborate work, into what is, also historically, an inherent part of the photographic medium: the forest of archives and the sea of files.

Dayanita Singh – Sea of Files
- 2022
-
Ingår i: Hasselblad Center, Göteborg. 2022-10-15.
-
Konstnärligt arbete (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The exhibition at Hasselblad Center reflects how archives and archiving have been continuous points of interest, research, and reference in Dayanita Singh's photographic oeuvre. Singh has developed a highly inventive archival methodology for publishing and displaying her work, creating new ways of seeing and experiencing photography. Dayanita Singh challenges the conventional approach to presenting photography by creating her own accessible ‘museums’ in the form of installations or publications. Singh’s photographs seem to take on a life of their own, but in the manner of a skilled composer, she assembles her images in meticulously crafted arrangements of poetic plays with themes and associations. Dayanita Singh has been photographing and documenting everything from local town archives to court registries in India since the early 2000s, and the seminal work File Museum includes 140 of these photographs. Some of the archive documents are carefully wrapped in fabric, while others are placed in piles stretching from the floor to the ceiling. Finding the right document can appear to be an impossible task, but in Singh’s photographs, a close tie between the archive and the archivist emerges, where the piles of documents become an extension of the custodian, thereby following an internal logic. Singh is fascinated by the fact that archivists in India not only create their own physical structures but also – in many cases – their own individual cataloguing system. The book takes on a key role in Dayanita Singh’s work and method. This is exemplified in Museum Bhavan, which consists of nine different museums in the so-called accordion book format, where the pages can be unfolded in long rows. The books also make the museums mobile, enabling Singh to unfurl an exhibition wherever she wants. The seriality and sequencing of the books are paralleled in her large wooden installations, but here, she breaks up the order and reshuffles the images. The Pothi Khana installation consists of columns of photographs that spread out like a forest in the room. The Time Measures series presents the red bundles that are a traditional way of preserving documents in India, where the red colour keeps the contents safe from insects and vermin. Over time, the bundles have faded, taking on the imprints of the bundles stored next to them. Mona Montages (Mona in the archive) is one of Singh’s more recent works. It consists of 11 collages created from portraits and archives and can be viewed as a tribute to Mona Ahmed, who has figured prominently in Singh’s life since 1989, both as a close friend and a source of inspiration. Museum of Innocence (The Madras Chapter) includes 20 silver gelatine photographs from three home museums, as well as a framed fragment of text from Orhan Pamuk’s novel Museum of Innocence. A “home museum” is a home preserved for posterity after the death of the person who lived there. When Singh read Pamuk’s novel, she was inspired to trawl through her archive, leading to her creating a series of photographs of home museums devoted to the residences of MG Ramachandran, Sivaji Ganesan and K Kamaraj: actor, politician and activist. In the accompanying text fragment, Singh answers the characters in Pamuk’s novel to embed herself in the story.

I am the Camera
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Hasselblad Center.
-
Konstnärligt arbete (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The Hasselblad Foundation celebrates Gothenburg's 400th anniversary with a new permanent exhibition. Inspired by Victor Hasselblad's interest in nature, the exhibition I am the Camera focuses on the importance of photography for how we experience and form knowledge about the world around us and the role of the camera in the encounter with the city and its surroundings. I am the Camera includes historical material that has rarely been shown as well as contemporary works, including Hendrik Zeitler's nature photograms in the series "1:1 Hammarkullen" and Susanne Fagerlund's holograms from "the Doppelgänger series" created in collaboration with Artificial Intelligence. The exhibition reflects the Hasselblad Foundation's dual focus on photography and natural science – and at the same time, looks towards new approaches to meetings between the camera and its surroundings.

WITH AN EYE ON NATURE: FEATHERS, FOSSILS AND PHOTOGRAPHS
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Gothenburg Museum of Natural History.
-
Konstnärligt arbete (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The exhibition takes you on a journey through time, out in nature and into the rich image archive of Gothenburg's Natural History Museum. Since the mid-nineteenth century, photography has served as an important tool in encounters with nature from the perspectives of both scientific research and amateurs’ devoted examinations of plants, animals, and geology. In the exhibited images, we encounter everything from the small sea roach to a giant lumpfish found off the west coast and geological formations of gneiss and silicon. Through the museum's extensive image collection, which ranges from the early black-and-white portraits of natural scientists and their discoveries to today's high-resolution digitizations of type material, we can follow the development of photographic technology and its use in the natural sciences. Photography has revolutionized the way we observe and perceive nature. At the museum, photography is an indispensable tool for research, preservation, and protection of biological diversity. The camera is used in everything from documenting and describing new species and their natural habitats to photographing museum objects for digitization and exhibitions. However, new visual technologies offer creative possibilities for exploring and communicating museum collections in new ways. With an Eye on Nature questions how and when nature looks back at the person behind the camera. Can photography and new imaging technologies pave the way for different interactions between biological beings such as birds, trees, fungi, and people? The exhibition is based on collections of the Gothenburg Museum of Natural History, in which two guest curators from the Hasselblad Foundation have been botanizing. With an Eye on Nature also includes photographs by bird and nature enthusiast Victor Hasselblad, who was deeply involved in the museum, and works by a selection of contemporary artists who look at nature differently than the scientific. Gothenburg's natural history museum collections span over 150 years. The museum moved to the current building in connection with the city's 300th-anniversary celebration in 1923. With an Eye on Nature is an anniversary exhibition celebrating the museum's first 100 years in Slottsskogen. A wall next to the exhibition is inhabited by colourful birds carved from fresh hazel by primary school students from Västra Götaland.
