Read a Parkett text on Dayanita Singh
Parkett Vol. 95

Quote from Parkett
"Discussing her work, Singh has said, "It's the dream, it's that time between waking and sleeping". Like memories, her photographs lie dormant, waiting to be reawakened. The sleeping girl is fixed first in one place, then another, she is fugitive and multiple, finding different company, making different connections. She is in Delhi and London and Paris and New York, and no doubt countless other places too."
James LIngwood, Parkett No. 95, 2014

“In this pigment print for Parkett, New Delhi based artist Dayanita Singh revisits her longtime muse Mona Ahmed in four cropped images taken from a singular photograph—which is revealed beneath a removable white mat. Ahmed poses on the courch beneath three framed works in this singular portrait, Mona and Myself (2013), which are Pheroza Vakeel from Privacy (2003), Untitled from I am as I am (2000), and Untitled from Go Away Closer (2007).” -Artspace
