Dayanita Singh’s photographic strategy in Museum of Chance explores the intersection of chance and order through carefully composed images that invite reflection on perception and memory. The book presents a collection of photographs that investigate the unpredictability inherent in everyday moments, framed within a deliberate visual structure that balances spontaneity and control.

The mood throughout is contemplative, emphasizing the tension between randomness and intentionality. Singh’s work encourages viewers to consider how meaning is constructed through juxtaposition and sequence, challenging conventional narratives by foregrounding the role of chance in the photographic encounter.

Published by Steidl in 2014, this 96-page volume distills Singh’s exploration into a focused study accessible to those interested in photography as an artistic and conceptual practice.
