SHOW TITLE: New Photography
ARTIST: Nandini Valli Muthiah
CURATOR: Murray Horne

Nandini Valli Muthiah has rapidly emerged as a central figure in Indian photography. Nandini’s images incorporate traditional ideas of popular Indian art by capturing them in contemporary everyday environments. Her images of Krishna, from the Definitive Reincarnate series, portrays a tired-looking Krishna sitting on the edge of a bed in a luxury hotel room, highlighting the gap in India culture between historic value systems and rapid modernization.
