Gerhard Steidl calls her the genius of book making; she calls herself a book artist. With Museum of Chance (Steidl 2014) Singh has found a unique form of her own The Book Object.
The book has within it 88 images, each of these images are also a cover, so the book comes with 88 different covers.
These are then placed in wooden structures and displayed on the walls.
Moving away from showing editioned prints framed on the wall, Singh makes the book itself the art object, to be valued, looked at and read as such, rather than being regarded as a gathering of photographic reproductions.
In fact the book in its special structure is the work, as were her silver gelatin prints, and the images inside could be seen as the catalogue of this exhibition of the 88 book covers.
Dayanita Singh’s Museum of Chance (2014) is a book about how life unfolds, and asks to be recorded and editehd, along and off the axis of time. The inscrutably woven photographic sequence of Singh’s Go Away Closer has now grown into a labyrinth of connections and correspondences. The thread through this novel-like web of happenings is that elusive entity called Chance. It is Chance that seems to disperse as well as gather fragments or clusters of experience, creating a form of simultaneity that is realized in the idea and matter of the book, with its interlaced or parallel timelines and patterns of recurrence and return.
