from 'Dream Villa' 2010 by Dayanita Singh

"The absence of people is manifest in empty rooms and spaces and in remarkable still lifes of everyday objects. People are also emphatically absent from her most recent series, Blue Book (2009) and Dream Villa (2010), yet they do remain omnipresent in details and even in the color and light. The urban scene full of movement and vigor has turned into a desolate, surreal world that offers an endless range of interpretations and meanings."


Exhibited at Huis Marseille, Museum for Photography, Amsterdam.
