------------------------------------------------------------------ Inside India: Photo Exhibition by Dayanita Singh Hamburger Bahnhof, September 19 to December 7, 2003 ------------------------------------------------------------------
On the occasion of the Asia-Pacific Weeks the Hamburger Bahnhof is showing an exhibition of photographs by Dayanita Singh with 150 works belonging to the two series "Empty Spaces" and "Family Portraits".
The photographs were done in Goa which formerly was under Portuguese rule and even today has a Christian dominance. Dayanita Singh worked for a sustained period on portraits of the people living in Goa. Then she realised that the surroundings have as much to tell as the people themselves, whom she had photographed.The objects accumulate their history and are at the same time reflecting the "here and now".
Dayanita Singh combines in these photographs architecture and decoration to a new, astounding synthesis in which personal histories as relics of the past become at the same time witnesses and reminiscences. Those pictures, in which no human beings are seen, appear nevertheless full of absent life, however never empty." ------------------------------------------------------- GERMAN NEWS August 2003 page 13 -------------------------------------------------------
