About this artwork
Portraits of the Transgender community of Lahore
Scattered around the poorer districts of the city of Lahore, are small groups of ‘Hijras’, transgender individuals. They are the cultural descendants of the Mughal Empire court eunuchs, who now earn their livings performing ceremonies, or as beggars, dancers and sometimes as prostitutes. The photographic portraits of this transgender community were taken in a daylight studio in Lahore, Pakistan, from… the spring of 2009 to the summer of 2011 against hand painted backdrops from 19th century Mumbai theatre sets.

« I look towards a new discursive space where reality image constructs replace photo-agency packaging and committed engagement replaces the self serving of the ’Artist’s Vision’. »
Malcolm Hutcheson took his first photograph on a windy beach in the north of Scotland. He suddenly felt that as he pointed his camera at the rest of the world, he became invisible.
