Photo print on Photo Rag Baryta Hahnemühle paper. Edition 1/3

This piece is from a constructed photography series where the artist imagines intimate moments in the lives of East Indian folk who live their lives beyond the “wagon-train morality,” or the kind of morality that seems to have a mendacious meaning, predominantly when it comes to sexuality and love, thus subverting usually confined narratives around the subject. In the post-modern world where equal-rights movements and related activism are ubiquitous, their freedom lies not in a movement but in the romantic dreams of their own lives. Photo subjects are immigrants from India the artist met during his time in Canada.

About the artist

Guntaj Singh
Vancouver, BC

Guntaj Deep Singh is a self-taught visual artist, photographer, and filmmaker in whose work conventional and modern visual mediums work together in an aesthetic marriage of image and emotion. His work is sliced from material which is both expository—the physical and social context in which he operates—and emotional, a more reflective and philosophical dimension. In his eyes, the purest form of art emerges from emotions, the proof that we are conscious and living. This constantly reflects in his artistic expression, aiming to convey the distinctiveness of consciousness as experienced in immediate fragments during our lives, and inducing conversations around culture, parallelism, and the human condition in post modern society.
