Chennai Photo Biennale

Chennai Photo Biennale
Chennai, India

Shadi Ghadirian's showcase at the Government College of Fine Arts during Chennai Photo Biennale 2019. "They have transformed us. They have veiled us. Sometimes we hide behind them. Sometimes we get lost before them. Sometimes we scavenge them in search of lost loves. Through them, we sometimes escape the Real World. With one click, we sometimes get deleted. They have transformed us. They are not like our mothers. They are unique to our era; to today's woman in a modern world. They transform us. They organize us. The read and write us. "They" are tiny icons on our computer. They define us the way you now see, me, today's woman."
