Photography

Gauri Gill

Gauri Gill (born 1970) is an Indian contemporary photographer who lives in New Delhi. In October 2022, Gill's first mid-career survey exhibition was held at the Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt, and subsequently travelled to the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Humlebæk, in January 2023. In 2018, she became the first Indian photographer to present a solo exhibition at MoMA PS1, New York. She also participated in Documenta 14, held in Athens and Kassel in 2017. Gill received the Prix Pictet award for Photography and Sustainability in 2023 for her series Notes from the Desert. In the same year, she was nominated for the Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation Prize 2024. In 2011, she was awarded the Grange Prize for contemporary photography. The jury said her works "often address ordinary heroism within challenging environments depicting the artist's often-intimate relationships with her subjects with a documentary spirit and a human concern over issues of survival." Gill has published two books documenting her collaborations with rural artists in India, Acts of Appearance and Fields of Sight, both published by Edition Patrick Frey, Zurich.
