“That Night of 84”, Durgadas Garai (IN) | DUGA 319/1055/1

Durgadas Garai is an Indian artist who works in woodcut and etching. His works serve as a tool to revisit the tragedy of a water crisis. In these prints, Garai shows imagery of dark grey colours contrasted with strong shades of blood red. While water pipes and water itself are posed in a powerful angle, the victims of the crisis appear helpless. At the same time, the victims play a central role in the composition, creating an unavoidable, agonizing spectacle for the observer.
