Raghubir Singh (1942, Jaipur, India – 1999, New York, USA) is considered a pioneer of colour photography. In the 1970s he was one of only a handful of prominent photographers to use colour at a time when colour was still widely dismissed outside of commercial photography. His photographs, often highly complex in their organisation of space, offer multiple perspectives on contemporary India.
This photograph featured as part of the Touchstone programme (2012-2020). Each display consisted of a single photographic work on the Eranda studio floor where visitors were invited to respond to the question 'What do you see?' using the cards and pencils provided. A bench was placed in front of the work, encouraging people to spend a little longer than they might usually. The programme was part of a wider series of projects and activities related to visual literacy.
