Abstract

Dayanita Singh (b. 1961) has long pursued a practise of close relationships with her subjects, human and otherwise. In pairing this commitment with disseminating her photographs through book and portable museum formats, in which photographs are reused over the course of decades, she has developed a practice that she recognises as fundamentally archival. This article examines two distinct elements of Singh’s oeuvre: Myself Mona Ahmed (2001), a book created with her friend Mona, a self-described ‘eunuch’ cast out of her community in Delhi; and File Room, a constantly unfolding project appearing in multiple book and museum formats, focused on the materiality and temporality of the archive. I read both as part of Singh’s ‘intimate archive’, and understand this thread in her work as a feminist practise, one that extends to her invitation to viewers to engage with the book and museum objects, reworking these images into new intimate archives.
亲密档案:达安妮塔·辛格,摄影书和女权主义迭代
达安妮塔·辛格(生于1961年)长期以来一直追求与她的主题,人类和其他事物的密切关系。在将这一承诺与通过书籍和便携式博物馆形式传播她的照片相结合的过程中,照片在几十年的时间里被重复使用,她已经发展了一种她认为从根本上来说是档案的实践。本文考察了辛格作品中两个截然不同的元素:我是莫娜·艾哈迈德(2001),这本书是她和朋友莫娜一起创作的,莫娜自称是被德里社区驱逐的“太监”;档案室是一个不断展开的项目,以多种书籍和博物馆的形式出现,专注于档案的物质性和时间性。我把这两本书都作为辛格“亲密档案”的一部分来读,并把她作品中的这条线索理解为女权主义的实践,这条线索延伸到她邀请观众参与到书和博物馆的物品中,把这些图像重新加工成新的亲密档案。
