Book Description

March 30, 2008
'Ketaki Sheth's photographs, so formally interesting, so sharply seen, so deeply felt.' - Salman Rushdie. 'Sheth's Bombay is subtle, considered and thoughtful, even when it is outwardly brutal.' - Suketu Mehta, author of "Maximum City: Bombay Lost and Found". "Stunning photographs...Her work is terrific, fuelling me with energy and and inspiration.' - Mira Nair."Bombay Mix" brings together the street photographs of leading Indian photographer Ketaki Sheth, images taken over a period of almost 20 years. Bombay is a city that never sleeps. Its population (17.7 million) and its geography put a premium on space. A lot of 'living' happens on the street, where a disparate and unlikely blend of humanity defines its boundaries in a tightly confined space. The thrill of Bombay is the thrill of contrast. The streetscape of the city is as much psychedelic as it is kaleidoscopic: there is so much to see. What is most difficult to discern is geometry, the internal order amidst the clutter. Ketaki Sheth won the Sanskriti Award for Indian photography in 1992 and the Higashikawa Award 2006 in Japan for best foreign photographer. She has exhibited in the UK, India, the United States, France and Japan. Sheth lives in Bombay and "Bombay Mix" is her second book.
