Intact, 2009

Yamini Nayar’s constructed photographs of imagined spaces are made from table-top installations built in her studio for the lens and documented with a large-format camera. She builds from found and discarded materials and draws from a range of sources, including architectonics – from religious to the mundane-, historical archives and industrial ruins to create spatial constructions that aim to challenge scale and materials through the photographic space. – Yamini Nayar
