24 Slides by Aparna Nori

24 Slides:

About the book:
24 Slides examines personal archives and found photographs and overlays them with
childhood memories of a time of war. Growing up for a brief time in Iraq has left a deep impression on my sister and I, and we often think of the place and the people, the futility of war and its impact on people’s lives. Through this work, I look back into history through a tourism booklet from the 1970’s and attempt to read the images and text as evidence and offer counter perspectives through my own experiences.

Aparna Nori is a photographer and visual artist based between Singapore and India.
Aparna draws upon personal memory to have a dialogue with the quotidian. Her response is articulated through a range of mediums including alternative photographic processes, installations, video, digital photography and the book form. As a pedagogic extension of her practice, she continues to design and facilitate workshops to teach photography, bookmaking and alternative photographic processes.
