Delhi Through the Night

The accompanying photographs can form a part of a narrative or stand alone as moments that occur in the city of Delhi through the night. These pictures are reflections on not only the obsession with the old and chaotic parts of the city, but also on the gaze of a middle-class, academically-oriented woman from a relatively small town, who feels more comfortable and safe behind a camera as she walks anonymous through the wide and narrow, intimidating and yet liberating streets of the capital city of Delhi.

Neha Chaturvedi is currently working on her dissertation. A constantly distracted person incapable of focus both literally and figuratively, prone to spells of hyperactivity conjunct with long phases of laziness, her only companion through long and sometimes anxious walks through the city is her camera. On other occasions, she likes to paint, write, act, or simply linger over nothings.
