// Pushpamala N.’s Phantom Lady #14 from her Phantom Lady series (1996-1998) is a gelatin silver print that captures a cinematic and suspenseful moment, paying homage to the noir aesthetic. In this black-and-white photograph, a female figure, dressed in glamorous attire, reclines on a stairway, her posture evoking both vulnerability and defiance. The composition is dramatically lit, with deep shadows and strong contrasts, while an imposing figure stands above her, partially obscured, adding a sense of intrigue and tension. Inspired by Indian cinema and film noir tropes, Pushpamala explores themes of gender, identity, and narrative through stylized scenes. Limited to an edition of 10, this photograph exemplifies her mastery in creating evocative and layered visual storytelling.

What is Performance Art?
Performance Art is a genre of fine art that is traditionally interdisciplinary, involving various art forms. It can be scripted or unscripted, random or carefully orchestrated, spontaneous, or meticulously planned, with or without audience participation. Performance Art can be presented live or through media, with the artist either present or absent. It typically involves four basic elements: space, the performer’s body or presence through a medium, time, and the relationship between performer and audience. The artwork consists of actions performed by an individual or group in a specific time and space.
