LETS SEE - DAYANITA SINGH KARTONIERT (TB)

Let's See is a photo-novel of Dayanita Singh's earliest years as a photographer  a return to a
time when she did not yet consider herself a photographer  the probing remembrance of an eye I
no longer have access to. Singh has recently poured through 40 years of her archive-80% of
which remains unseen-exploring scans of her contact sheets and being amazed by the gentle and
tender images from the 1980s and '90s she had since forgotten-hostel roommates  friends with
whom she lived  family  weddings  funerals  portraits of herself and those who would become
important characters in her life: her mother Nony Singh  Zakir Hussain  Mona Ahmed whom she
depicted in the emotive visual biography Myself Mona Ahmed (2001). Singh's first camera  a
Pentax ME Super with a 50mm lens  was a gift from the German publisher Ernst Battenberg
(1927-92)  and with it she made photos of everything I could  trying to make a roll of film
last as long as possible  creating contact sheets of all her images  but realizing the rare
luxury of an individual print only for a publication or a book project. I call this book Let's
See  says Singh  because these images are about exactly that: how we see  what we don't see 
what only the camera sees...
