Vivan Sundaram, Untitled (Family), 2001
Vivan Sundaram has been dealing with images from
a family archive in the last few years. No ordinary archive, the images
document the family life of a female artist and bohemian in early twentieth-century
India. Negotiating between Indian tradition and European modernism, the
lifestyle of the subjects provides a fascinating example of society in
transition. The artist further emphasizes this with his approach of digitally
reworking the images, often doubling or mirroring the subjects.
