In this work, a selection of their letters also become a way to picture the photographic image. The English translations of the letters have been extracted from \u2018Indian Voices of the Great War\u2019, David Omissi, Palgrave, 1999. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Raqs first encountered these letters in 1993 in the India Office Library, London, and brought them into \u2018The Surface of Each Day is a Different Planet\u2019 (2009), an open-ended video work examining how collectivity and anonymity have been represented over time. In \u2018Seen at Secunderabagh\u2019 (with Zuleikha Chaudhari, 2011), the letters outlined passage of time and a historical subjectivity that alters the way we encounter photographs. <\/p>\n\n\n<div
