The Hindu : Performance photography
here: a link to some fascinating work that i want to find out more about.
The Hindu : Performance photography: "Deconstructing these 'native types', the artists take off with the subversive wit so individual to Pushpamala's work. This results in a Ravi Varma heroine as a popular Amrita Sher-Gill figure. Or a gingham-clad Clare and her collaborator in sepia renditions sourced from a catalogue of oceanic photography. Or even the Toda woman astride a scooter.
En route, these conceptual artists interface with gender studies, art history, or sociology — including the women-only zenana studios of Kolkata and Hyderabad. Chuckling, Pushpamala describes the multi-layered show as 'a sister act, double bill or even a dasavatar'."
