Photographer Dhruv Malhotra documents the Indian urban predilection for sleeping outside (by choice). In slumber, they create "little capsules of privacy" in public space.About Dhruv Malhotra:
Dhruv Malhotra grew up in Jaipur and is currently based in New York. Malhotra graduated from Mumbai University in 2006. His work focuses on urban areas and engages with issues of progress, modernity and the otherworldly. Malhotra's photographs were included in a group exhibition at the Hyères Festival, France in early 2010, where he was awarded a residency by the School of Visual Arts in New York. His first body of work, Noida Soliloquy, was exhibited at Photoink, New Delhi, 2010. Photographs from his subsequent body of work, Sleepers, were included in the exhibition New Ways of Looking at the 2010 Brighton Photo Biennial.
About The Matter Within: New Contemporary Art of India:
As contemporary art becomes more widely recognized within India, there has also been a growing awareness of its international development and impact. YBCA is pleased to present The Matter Within: New Contemporary Art of India, an exhibition of sculpture, photography and video by artists of India living inside the country as well as in the diaspora. Inspired by material culture, literature, spirituality, and social and political aspects of the history of the South Asian region, the exhibition is organized around three thematic threads that resonate from contemporary India—embodiment, the politics of communicative bodies and the imaginary. Of particular interest are the artistic practices that either incorporate these concepts or operate within a gap between these existing thematic categories. Whereas sculpture and painting have a long history within both sacred and secular traditions of Indian art, in recent years photography and video have emerged as significant media as well.
