The  book will focus on the contemporary moment, and a range of approaches will be included, including art  photography, contemporary practices, installation, moving image, journalistic and documentary  photography. Themes include caste  and class, the partitioning of the sub -continent, gender and sexuality,  conflict, religion, nationalism, new technologies and developments, the environment, human settlement,  and migration.\n\n\"As a large, multilingual subcontinent,  India has always relied on  images to maintain a cohesive whole  across myriad subcultures, regions, castes and languages.  The introduction of photomechanical imaging  in the nineteenth century enabled the rapid reproduction and dissemination of both spiritual and scientific  ideals,\" states author and editor Sunil Gupta, continuing, \"Photography for most of its history was too  expensive and technical and was left in the hands of 'experts'  -  until the birth of digital technologies.  The  book will address the legacy of the last twenty yea rs,    a period when photography and moving image  media have been consistently included within critical exhibitions of fine art.\"\n\nINDIA: Contemporary Photographic and New Media Art  is edited by Sunil Gupta, Delhi -born artist and  curator, and Steven Evans,  curator and FotoFest Executive Director, and includes essays from experts on  the region and contemporary art.","brand":"Schilt Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42665649930276,"sku":"9789053309001","price":100.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/9734\/0196\/files\/9789053309001.jpg?v=1777360209","url":"https:\/\/thamesandhudson.com.au\/products\/india-3","provider":"Thames \u0026 Hudson Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
