The House Imaginary (2018)
This photograph is part of a ten-year project in which Gauri Gill recorded the lived experiences of rural and migrant communities across the arid topography of Rajasthan in Western India’s border terrain. In such a harsh climate, instability is a given; time is marked by floods and droughts, epic cycles of birth and death. In this image, a figure leaps into the interior of an unfinished stone house. The blurred pattern of her clothing seems to melt into or emerge from the brick surface of the wall behind, intertwining figure and architecture.
