Dayanita Singh “Go Away Closer” at Hayward Gallery, Southbank Centre, London, from October 8th until December 15th 2013
First major survey in the United Kingdom. DS shows different ways to look and think about a work, about the medium of photography. She creates “fresh narratives from new and unexpected relationships”. We have the question of what is to be an India photographer? The exhibition shows 25 years of work about sculpture the cityscape. She brings “Portraits of a house of death, of love, of illusions, of returns”, a dream villa. It will become a “museum” of chance. Probably the most important thing in DS work is the organic of India world. What holds India together - “Somehow it works”.
"It is true that my role as a … Player is mainly supportive, but in that itself, lies the challenge. How to control myself to give out only what’s needed, to analyse the person I’m playing with." (In DS’ Zakir Hussain catalogue).
Each photography, each museum structure beholds a different and adds new narratives in to the discourse. Does it invalidate the thought within we are immersed in? It those involve more an archive, a catalogue system. We move through a maze of images, shelfs and biombos, talking on everyday life moments, events and spatiality’s. We have just to listen to the work.
