Description
Rajinder Singh’s The Turban Imaginary is an artist’s meditation on the turban, as the subject of art, ritual, and cultural performance. The book has been crafted to replicate the intricate experience of the tying of a turban, with each chapter mirroring the quiet prayers and incantations of this ancient ritual. For Singh, turban-tying is embodied choreography and a living installation that merges personal identity with public cultural display. The work highlights the turban as a medium for action and a site of choreography, where each fold embodies cultural resilience and serves as an aesthetic and political act.
