90 Betsy Karel Bombay Jadoo Inspired by contemporary Indian authors, Betsy Karel went to Bombay to find visual equivalents of the humanity, humor, mystery and psychological energy of these writers’ stories. Unlike many photographers who are drawn to the cacophony of urban India, she focused, often in an intensely personal way, on individuals going about their everyday street lives in this singular city. Patiently waiting amidst the bustle of Bombay, home to more people than the entire continent of Australia, she captures a poignant lyricism in the familiar. As individuals transform public spaces into private places, forging islands of intimacy, she encounters the true “jadoo” (Hindi for magic) of Bombay and its people. To accompany the photographs, the globally acclaimed author Suketu Mehta has written a companion piece about his boyhood in Bombay. Betsy Karel, born in New York City in 1946, now lives in Washington, DC. She worked as an award-winning photojournalist in the 1970s and early 80s. In 1998, after an absence of 15 years, she returned to photography to participate in The Way Home, a book and national exhibition on homelessness in America. During the past nine years, Karel has made numerous trips to Mumbai, creating the images in Bombay Jadoo. Her photographs are in the permanent collections of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Yale University Art Gallery, the Corcoran Gallery of Art, and the John F. Kennedy Library.

92 Alejandra Figueroa Capitus In Capitus Alejandra Figueroa takes us on a journey across the ages and traces many histories of civilization through the physiognomy of faces on statuary and in paintings. Combining over 330 black and white photographs of heads carved from stone, wood and metal and painted on canvas, this gallery of portraits suggests certain universal truths about human emotions such as joy and fear. Figueroa’s inimitable style beautifully renders the most evocative detail out of smooth marble and rough wood. The Mexican-born photographer Alejandra Figueroa lives in Paris. Since her first major show in 1997 at the Louvre, her work has been exhibited extensively, including at the Musée d’Orsay and the Vatican museum. Her work is represented in numerous private collections and public institutions such as the Louvre, the Fonds National d’Art Contemporain, the Bibliothèque Nationale de France and the Maison Européenne de la Photographie. Steidl published her book Corpus.
