Untitled [photograph using a slide projection of dopatta and chilli]. is a 1989 photographic by Zarina Bhimji, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This photo shows a draped figure wrapped in a blue fabric, arms raised as if caught in motion. The background is completely black, making the fabric glow. The figure’s face is hidden, and the fabric’s folds look almost like they’re moving. The artist used a slide projection to create this image, layering fabric and chili peppers for texture. The result feels both real and dreamlike at the same time. Check out Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
