From a humanist approach to portraiture to a consistent interest in the archive, her wide-spanning photography is innovatively presented in books and installations.Her unique mobile 'museums' allow her images to be edited, re-sequenced, archived, and displayed, making the viewer an avid participant. With a distinctive sense of materiality, the 'museums' present her photographs as interconnected bodies of work charged with both poetic and narrative possibilities. Making images nurtured by a boundlessly curious intellect, Dayanita Singh's influence on the younger generations of photographers, internationally but especially in India, has been and still is far-reaching."I can hardly believe this is true, I feel honoured and humbled to receive this award from the Hasselblad foundation," Dayanita Singh says. "For years I had wanted to teach a class called "Dancing with my Hasselblad'. And now to have this award as well as be in the esteemed company of previous awardees is beyond my imagination. I accept this award on behalf of my book objects and mobile museums."The Hasselblad Foundation was established in 1979 under the terms of the last will and testament of Erna and Victor Hasselblad. The purpose of the Foundation is to promote scientific education and research in photography and the natural sciences.
