// Pushpamala N.'s The Native Types - Flirting from 2006 is a staged C-print photograph that humorously explores themes of cultural stereotypes, gender roles, and traditional Indian identity. In this work, Pushpamala N. performs as the female character herself, dressed in traditional Indian attire, while engaging in a playful interaction with a male counterpart. The colorful scene, set in a room with vintage decor and checkered flooring, is imbued with theatricality, resembling a film still from a classic Indian movie. The exaggerated gestures and expressions add an element of satire, inviting the viewer to reflect on the performative aspects of cultural identity and the clichés often associated with Indian womanhood and romance. Limited to an edition of 20, this piece showcases Pushpamala's distinctive style of using humor and irony to comment on social themes.
