Summary: With contributions by Barbara London and Suketa Mehta. For the past twenty-five years, a swirling mix of voices from India's past and present has shaped Indian photography and video art. The artists' gaze has been fixed on India's lives, revealing, interpreting and influencing the staid, chaotic, monochrome and colorful dimensions of a country of over one billion people. All the artists represented in this book provide rich insight into the dynamics shaping the contemporary Indian psyche and landscape, including deeply rooted cultural practices, violent economic and political shifts, the pervasive influence of the media and the indomitable forces of class and caste.
