Among the photograms created by Nalini Malani in 1970 at VIEW, “Untitled I, II, III” show an even more complex
and time-consuming process with incredibly nuanced photographic results. One more level for
attaining tonal subtleties was obtained by “dodging,” a technique Malani learned from her close
friend and an artist Nasreen Mohamedi. From the final photography, a negative was made, and
blown up to make exhibition prints in a limited edition. These photograms represent Malani’s
early engagement for experimenting with new mediums which became a lifelong passion.
