Description

Museum of Dance: Mother Loves to Dance is Dayanita Singh’s tribute to the rhythmic art of dance and its intersection with photography. The book collects images from her extensive archive spanning the 1980s and 90s, featuring intimate portraits of her mother, Nony Singh, her lifelong friend Mona Ahmed, and legendary Bollywood choreographers like Masterji. Singh explores the “offset symphony” of bookmaking, treating the book itself as a mobile museum where rehearsed and spontaneous rhythms of life combine through intuition. The volume coincides with her traveling retrospective “Dancing with the Camera,” reinforcing her role as an “offset artist” who creates fluid spaces between the gallery and the printed page.
