Auto*Focus: Raghubir Singh's Way into India
Rameshwaram, Tamil Nadu by Raghubir Singh (1942-1999) 1994, India, Digital photographic print © 2002 Succession Raghubir Singh
Through August 10, 2003 Arthur M. Sackler Gallery
Auto*Focus, one of Raghubir Singh's last great projects, combines the photographer's passions for color and the Indian landscape with his fascination with the Ambassador car, an icon of modern India. Diplomatic limousine, family car, and taxi, its distinctive silhouette is omnipresent across India. The Sackler's exhibition presents forty-eight photographs that place the car in the landscape or, conversely, frame, reflect, and refract the landscape through the Ambassador's windows and mirrors.
