Her quiet, concentrated photographs focus the viewer's gaze on barely perceived peripheral areas in Indian society. In an open, dialogical process that eschews documentary conventions, she has dedicated herself to concerns related to survival and self-assertion, identity and belonging, and also to conceptual questions of memory and authorship.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe exhibition and book bring together about 200 pieces from Gauri Gill's pivotal series like the long-term project \u003ci\u003eNotes from the Desert\u003c\/i\u003e.

Gill's collaborator-subjects are renowned for their papier-mâché objects, which include traditional sacred masks made for the yearly Bohada procession. These masks depict living beings with the physical characteristics of people, animals or valued objects.\u003cbr\u003eIn the photographs gathered in this volume, the artists as well as other local volunteers engage in everyday village activities while wearing masks crafted specifically for this body of work.
