"File Room" is a collection of works by Dayanita Singh, one of India's leading female photographers. Dayanita Singh's solo exhibition "India's Big House Museum" at the Tokyo Photographic Art Museum in 2017 is still fresh in our memory. She studied documentary photography at ICP and in the 1990s, as a photojournalist, repeatedly took photographs on social issues such as poverty and women in India, which were published in Western news magazines. However, she began to feel uncomfortable with the stereotypical style of Indian journalism, such as the depiction of poverty, and in the 2000s, she drew a line from the press and began to search for a way of expressing her country from her own perspective. Works such as "Privacy," which focuses on the wealthy class in India, have been praised as masterpieces that overturn the image of India that has existed up until now, and this work "File Room" is a unique work that features a "document archive room," which is likely to be rare even in the world today. Texts such as Forest of Paper and Sea of Paper are included in this book, but even in the analog world that is being forgotten, there are hidden hints to convey history and pave the way for the next generation. (This book is available in 10 different cover colors, and this is the light green version.)
