Jehangir Nicholson Art Foundation presents, Photo Lies, which will bring together works that make apparent the deception in photography. Here, a suite of museums are presented empty, with the bare structure offering a new architecture for the space the exhibition inhabits. A key idea that Singh employs to highlight this altering of space is the “montage”, where the artist cuts up her own images and recombines them to make analogue compositions. From her architectural montages, to her montages of her long-time friend Mona Ahmed, Singh continually disrupts the viewer’s expectation of what an image is meant to be. Elsewhere in the exhibition, she paints over her photographs to create ghosts of her images. Finally, she constructs contact sheets to curate her own version of the history of modern architecture.
