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.
