Visual poetry through lens, reflective and intimate.
If you have an eye for photography that reaches beyond the mere visual and into the depths of emotion and narrative, Dayanita Singh's "Go Away Closer" might resonate with you. Singh's artistry in capturing seemingly mundane moments holds a mirror to the everyday solitude and the intimate spaces we often overlook. Every page turned is a quiet conversation with the soulful stories behind the subjects, compelling and rich in the unsaid.

Description
Go Away Closer is a novel without words. It concerns a series of opposites in Singh's India: presence and absence, reality and dreams, tradition and progress. She is able to express the emotion underlying these often abstract concepts, because her photography springs from her own intimate experiences. For example, Singh establishes a connection between her personal losses and the collective sadness due to lost traditions in the face of technology. Such opposites are ultimately irreconcilable, as embodied by the paradox of the book's title. Singh embraces this uncertainty and presents visual clues in her photographs into which the viewer can read his or her own biography. Go Away Closer - like all Singh's books - is not about answering questions, but considering the emotional fabric from which they arise.
