Bindi Vora

Photographer

Bindi Vora is a British-Indian contemporary photographic artist. Her practice utilises various analogue processes, often taking inspiration from her everyday surroundings, which include her personal archive. Her work teases out subtle marks and pigments within the materials she uses, such as negatives and photographic paper. Vora is interested in the way materials or ephemera can be reused or recycled to create new narratives but can be traced back to other works, almost like interconnected tissues. Since graduating from University of Westminster her works have been exhibited in a number of group exhibitions including The Photographers’ Gallery (UK); Yinka Shonibare’s Guest Projects (UK); 180 The Strand (UK); Victoria & Albert Museum of Childhood (UK); amongst others. Her works have been published in British Journal of Photography, Capricious Magazine, appearing on various websites including I Heart Women, Hyperallergic, A Corner With; being named as “one to watch” by The Wick Culture in 2021. Her series Mountain of Salt (2020-21) initiated during the Covid-19 pandemic was exhibited as part of the Singapore International Photography Festival and Format International Photography Festival. Her photographic works are included in the public art collection of Imperial Health Charity and her self-published book 'In the blue light we failed.' (2014) is held at The Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library, Tate Library and Franklin Furnace Artist Book Collection / MoMA amongst others.
