Description

After years of documenting poverty, Dayanita Singh turned her lens toward the affluent world she personally hailed from. Privacy portrays India’s well-to-do families within their private residences, surrounded by postcolonial symbols of wealth and family solidarity. The self-confident elite depicted here remains largely unknown to Western audiences. Singh eventually realized that these rooms were occupied by invisible generations even when residents were absent, leading the book to conclude with haunting photographs of empty interiors.
