Born in 1961, Singh is based in New Delhi. Highly acknowledged for her documentary photography portraying the severe social situation surrounding sex workers, child laborers and the poverty in India, Singh has deployed her photography as imagery phrases and interconnected them to compose open-ended poetic narratives.
Singh’s solo exhibitions were hosted by internationally acclaimed institutions, including the Hayward Gallery in London, UK (2013), Museum Für Moderne Kunst in Frankfurt, Germany (2014), Art Institute in Chicago, USA (2014), Kiran Nadar Museum of Art in New Delhi, India (2015) and the Tokyo Photographic Art Museum in Tokyo, Japan (2017). She was also a selected artist for the German Pavilion for the 55th Venice Biennale (2013).
