Every issue culminates in a launch and exhibition at the Max Mueller Bhawan, New Delhi. PIX is about investigating and engaging with broad and expansive fields of contemporary photographic practice in India, ranging from the application, conceptual standing and adaptability of photography to its subjects: its movement, transmission, appropriation and distinct relation to the allied arts. PIX, the
title and thematic for a photography quarterly, is a premise for how photography, as an evolving medium, has revealed the world in tangible as well as incongruous terms, allowing viewers and practitioners to question the photographer’s subjectivity together with the camera’s ‘framing’ of time and space (its ability to reveal, censor, alter and re-orient). The publication seeks not only to present photography in temporal, spatial or historical terms, but also in personal, self-conscious and aesthetic ways. The structure for PIX will be consciously based on practices, technologies, curating and circulations of photography in India today. It seeks to contemplate photography in the present and the predicament of a generation influenced by the digital medium.Photography has come to be viewed as a means of the everyday, in possessing the power to influence us and even lead us astray. Images are now animated beings, with desires of their own and have started being cast into contemporary notions of picture theory associated with the visual arts, literature and mass media.
