Pushpamala N.: “Earlier, I believed that India was a poor rural country and so artists should use poor or humble materials to talk about our reality. But in fact here I am, a very metropolitan person who is a citizen of one of the highly industrialised countries of the world with a long history of modern technology. We are falling into an Orientalist stereotype if we seek reality only in the pre-industrial.” [Pushpamala N., The Navarasa Suite from the series Bombay Photo Studio, 2003, Gelatin silver print, 25 7/8 × 19 15/16" (65.7 × 50.6 cm)]
