The book includes Singh's associative visual essay \u003ci\u003eSea of Files\u003c\/i\u003e in its entirety, as well as--for the first time in a publication--\u003ci\u003eMuseum of Innocence (The Madras Chapter)\u003c\/i\u003e and other series engaging with the meanings and materiality of archives. A personal essay by Orhan Pamuk explores Singh's photographs of state archives, for him images of aura and melancholy that evoke the \"texture of memory,\" \"an idea of poetic decrepitude and a sense of profundity.\" The book furthermore shows how Singh has paved new ways for engaging with photography, be it through humanist portraiture or her innovative display structures and book objects that recast conventions of the museum and publishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 152\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 10.4 x 10.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 14, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42171847704711,"sku":"9783969991541","price":48.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/a3a039d771e71ac16fd63d7825e943c7.webp?v=1733358650","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/dayanita-singh-sea-of-files-hasselblad-award-2022-hardcover","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
