@oliviarthur’s work In Private/Mumbai is a two-year exploration of privacy, intimacy and identity in the Indian city that highlights, in part, the LGBTQ+ community. Created between 2016 and 2018, on the cusp of India’s decriminalization of homosexuality, Arthur photographed individuals and couples in their own homes, traversing themes of gender, sexuality and individuality. Arthur juxtaposes moments of calm with dynamic images of the bustling metropolis and its beaches and festivals, highlighting the scarcity of private space, the sanctity of intimacy and the physicality of one’s own body. Several of the images from In Private/Mumbai were later included in Arthur’s 2024 book, Murmurings of the Skin, published by @photo_void. 🔗 Read more at the link in the @magnumphotos bio.
