Dayanita Singh: Book Building Singh Dayanita
Both a short history and a deep dive, this is Dayanita Singh's manifesto for the photobookIs it a book, an exhibition, a catalog of the exhibition? Is it unique? Is it mass-produced?
Book Building traces the journeys of Singh's books, from the first, Zakir Hussain (1986), to her latest, Zakir Hussain Maquette (2019), showing the spectrum of her book-building process from idea to material object, and how she inventively circulates them in the art world and beyond.Taking those books she has made with Steidl as a basis, we witness the transformation of books into book-objects which open up new interpretative spaces: Museum of Chance (2014), for example, first became a book-object, Dayanita Singh (born 1961) is a book artist who stretches the imagination of what a book can be, transcending the spaces between publishing and art.
