// Phantom Lady #22 by Pushpamala N., produced between 1996 and 1998, is a black-and-white gelatin silver print that offers a cinematic, noir-inspired portrayal of a woman in an urban setting. The photograph depicts the figure seated on a bench in what appears to be a deserted train station, surrounded by tracks and signal lights, under a web of overhead wires. The scene captures an atmosphere of solitude and suspense, with the composition suggesting a narrative yet leaving it ambiguous. Pushpamala N., known for her use of self-portraiture and staged photography, often explores themes related to identity, gender, and social roles in Indian society. The Phantom Lady series reinterprets archetypal female figures with a modern twist, questioning traditional representations of women. Limited to an edition of 10, this photograph resonates with the tension and mystery that characterize Pushpamala's unique visual language.

What is Performance Art?
Performance Art is a genre of fine art that is traditionally interdisciplinary, involving various art forms. It can be scripted or unscripted, random or carefully orchestrated, spontaneous, or meticulously planned, with or without audience participation. Performance Art can be presented live or through media, with the artist either present or absent. It typically involves four basic elements: space, the performer’s body or presence through a medium, time, and the relationship between performer and audience. The artwork consists of actions performed by an individual or group in a specific time and space.
