Sandra Singh, a German Indian visual artist, photographer and art educator living and working in Munich, Germany. In her artistic practice, Singh works at the intersection of photography, printmaking, and performance. She pursues projects and research on the themes of border politics, female autonomy and migrant identity.

In her works, she focuses on the complex relationship between documentation and fiction and a playful questioning of their boundaries. This is visualised in projects like “in conflict (borders)”, a collection of alt-printing works which are based on her ongoing intensive research into current surveillance policies, satellite technology and cartography.

With her current project “YOU WILL CHANGE YOUR MIND” she examines motherhood as a patriarchal concept and prime expectation of society for all women. Playing with concepts of fertility as a weapon and bodily autonomy as a feminist fight, Singh wants to create a dialogue through a series of staged photographs, collections of statements and collages.

In her research, the process focuses on personal encounters through conversations, collection of statements and a fusing of emotional and journalistic approaches to politics and histories. For instance, in "a promise of land" (2021) and "ararat (I)" (2019) Singh uses photography as a tool of visual investigation by merging aesthetics of surveillance technology, fine art photography and aspects of photojournalism. "Your nature Is fake" (2022), her latest work pursued at her residency with Schiesslhaus AiR, examines the perception of nature and relations to land usage in a staged confrontation by installing glowing light boxes with deconstructed satellite pictures in the Bavarian Forest. As a member of collectives like “Diversify.Photo” and “Women Photograph”, the post-migrant, feminist perspective is at the centre of her artistic interpretation of these themes.
