展覧会について

Nature Morte is pleased to launch Gauri Gill’s “BalikaMela,” published by Edition Patrick Frey of Zurich, Switzerland. With 72 black-and-white plates and 32 color reproductions, essays by Gill herself and Manju Saran (in English and Hindi), the book is a sumptuous document of Gill’s photo studio set up to take portraits of the predominantly female children and adolescents that attended the fair in remote and rural western Rajasthan. In 2003 and again in 2010, Gill collaborated with her subjects to produce these self-conscious portraits, on occasions also conducting technical workshops on photography and displaying some of the images taken in Lunkaransar previously. The book will be released at the gallery on the evening of September 15th and copies will be available for sale at the special price of Rs 1500. On display will be a selection of images from the book in large-scale prints, as well as the series “Jannat”.
