So bad, it's good!

"This book will celebrate the rejects", Debasish tells us. The selection of photographs will be intuitive as compared to other photography books that generally follow a conceptualised theme.

In the world of photography, there's constant pressure to produce good images. "But what are the parameters on the basis of which one categorises a photograph as bad?" question Debasish Borah and Helene Thebault, founders of Farside Collective, a non-profit, artist-run project space in Leh.
Drawing inspiration from In defence of the poor image, a popular article by Hito Steyerl, they've collaborated with Anubhav Syal to publish a book titled Bad photographs to collate submissions from artists of photographs that they consider bad — not necessarily with respect to quality, but also in terms of morality or viewpoint.
