Marilyn Silverstone Villagers looking at slides of themselves. Yumthang, North Sikkim, India. 1971.
“Before digital photography, there were slides. Shooting with film meant that every exposure was precious and limit
(...) ed in number, and there was no instant replay of images.
Marilyn Silverstone spent three decades of her life living and photographing in Asia. She developed a close relationship with the local people, especially in the Buddhist community. Here, villagers from Northern Sikkim delight in seeing themselves as Marilyn did, through her photography.”
