Arguably India`s best-known working photographer, Gupta is also a well-known artist, curator and writer. For decades he has explored narratives of contemporary gay life in India and other parts of the world; tackled issues of gender and sexuality; and documented his own experiences living with AIDS. This volume chronicles Gupta`s divergent series, which range from narrative portraits to fictional photo essays. Beautifully reproduced, these photos include his renowned series `The Pre-Raphaelites`; heart-rending images of children living in an HIV-positive care center; 1970s street scenes from New York City`s West Village; and his groundbreaking portraits of gay men, women and transgender individuals living in his native country and struggling against homophobic laws and culture. Subversive, whimsical, personal and political, Sunil Gupta`s photographs have done much to raise awareness about-and overcome the taboos of-homosexual life throughout the modern world.ISBN - 9783791350998
