Vivek Muthuramalingam is a documentary photographer and artist based out of Bangalore, India. His practice is often multidisciplinary and involves writing, videography and multimedia.

In his documentary work, Vivek is partial to ideas that coax a narrative and inform a deeper connection with the subject. He studied fine art at Ken School of Art, Bangalore and completed his studies in medicine at Kolar, Karnataka. He worked briefly as a surgical resident in the Department of Urology at Manipal Hospital in Bangalore before he took to photography.

Vivek’s photographs have appeared in The Wall Street Journal, Gulf News, The Sunday Guardian, Motherland Magazine, TimeOut, Al Jazeera, Domus India, National Geographic Traveller India, Huffington Post India, The Caravan and The Indian Express. He has also contributed to publications and reports for the Greenpeace, Indian Literature (Sahitya Akademi’s journal), WHO and UNESCO.
 
At whiteBOX, Munich, he will create a visual memoir of the local landscape experimenting with memory, loss and transformation.
