I love him.

recordar triunfos antiguos

sentirte especial como en esos ayeres.

Hoy necesitas del pasado

cerrar los ojos y rememorar

contagiarte de esa emoción

tomar fuerzas para seguir en el presente.

whose tank in my mouth? Bayonet of this: American me, fathering nothing but the wails of strangers I’ll never caress. Bayonet of dispersal, gas.

We run, choking on the sound of century and century’s return. I run, and a country breaks its way out of me, then breaks, breaks.

Shreya Ajmani: Could you briefly tell us about your work for the exhibition?

Gauri Gill: Although the images do not depict people, they are all about the built landscape and objects created by the human hand and imagination. The creations range from those that have absorbed varied energies and often contradictory aesthetics to create hybrid and inventive new forms, to others that have traveled seamlessly from sterile architect’s offices in global cities, to inhabit dramatically new contexts. The migrant workers who carry out these master plans lose their traditional livelihoods and related ways of life and are dislocated from their ancestral homes,  often without any safety nets. They are rendered invisible in their hostile new environments. Nature herself is bent to human will and desire, as new worlds emerge from the underlying capitalist order, or as we continually aspire, desire, make and destroy.
