Re-take of Amrita : Digital Photomontages
/ Vivan Sundaram
- New Delhi; Tulika Books; 2001
- 56p; 25x22cm
This is a book of 38 digital photomontages by vivan Sundaram, with a preface and annotation by the artist-author. These montages are the result of a 'collaborative' photographic project: between Umrao Singh Sher-Gil (1870-1954), the 'essential' photographer (who took numerous self-portraits), and Vivan Sundaram, who orchestrates with a digital wand, archival photographs of the Sher-Gil family. Vivan enters the space of the Sher-Gil homes and makes the members of the family enact (and re-enact) moments of radiating desire under his direction. The 'encounters' generated in this process of re-casting the family in new roles elaborate into a fictional narrative. ISBN: 818522949-X
