Dayanita Singh's Museum Bhavam: A book, an exhibition, a photographic archive

Dayanita Singh’s portfolio questions the multimedia function of the photography museum. By gathering a collection of photographic works in the same “portable” display, the artist intends to show their significance as museum and archival pieces, able to construct a narrative that is both artistic and historical. In this context, photographs are not only works of art, but documents that bear witness to a story to be told and preserved, over and over again.
