Today the world is filled with vain and meaningless photographs. Everyone is busy capturing images (not photographs) which magnify their social worth. We have forgotten that this art form is all about immortalising a moment.
But Dayanita Singh is from a different breed of photographers who are busy documenting the human experience. An oeuvre that captures her curiosity and intuitiveness towards life.
This time the Hasselblad Foundation did take notice and recognised her work by choosing her as a winner of the world’s prestigious international photography awards.
The prodigious photographer from New Delhi has exhibited internationally in over 60 solo shows and countless select group exhibitions. Some of her prominent works include Sent a Letter (2008), Go Away Closer (2007)
and Dream Villa (2010)
With over 20 books published and six international awards she is set to release her latest publication ‘Let’s See’ in June 2022.
She will receive the honour in an award ceremony on October 14, 2022, in Gothenburg, Sweden
