Today's spotlight is on Indian photographer @DayanitaSingh (1961), whose primary format is photography books. 📖 ​ ​On a grand scale, Singh makes ‘mobile museums’ for her photographs out of large, folding wooden structures containing movable frames, so she can continually edit her work and display it in new ways. On a smaller scale she creates ‘accordion’ books of photographs, which zigzag open and display the contents as miniature exhibitions. ​ ​Singh lives and works in India. She chose photography as a career to find her freedom, away from society’s expectations of marriage and family. Her work stems from her interest in the archive, expanding on the ways in which people relate to photographic images. ​​ ​ Despite living and working amongst the colourful sights of India, Singh usually works in black and white to create ‘something elusive’ in her images. 📷 ​#SouthAsianHeritageMonth
