Gauri Gill Acts of Resistance and Repair

For over twenty years, artist and photographer Gauri Gill (born 1970) is interested in the daily life of the rural population outside the centers urban landscapes of India. His calm, concentrated photographs focus the eye of the viewer on barely perceived peripheral areas of society Indian. In an open and dialogical process that avoids documentary conventions, she devoted herself to concerns related to the survival and self-affirmation, identity and belonging, as well as conceptual questions of memory and authorship. The exhibition and the book bring together around 200 pieces from Gauri Gill's pivotal series, such as the long-term project Notes from the Desert. Particular attention is paid given to Gill's collaborative approach and work with artists from rural areas.
