Fingerprint is a visual fable for our times, celebrating resistance to state surveillance and control. Actual fingerprints, letter-pressed onto the pages of the book, create progressively complex patterns, transporting the fingerprint from the world of forensics and law into the freeing world of art and imagination.
A brief historical note on fingerprinting and security-related practices frames and anchors this unique work of art in Indian and global contexts. Fingerprint is silkscreen-printed by hand on handmade paper.
