Devashish Gaur (b.1996, Delhi, India) is a photographer and artist based in Mumbai. His work moves between portraiture and documentary — exploring the notions of design, domesticity, archives, identity, youth culture and the built environment. 

“Gaur curates his narratives by combining old photographs requisitioned from family albums, archives, and vintage shops onto which the by-lanes of Delhi abruptly descend, with fresh documentation from his research. A number of his past projects are steeped in nostalgia, excavating material memory to reconstruct the notion of home and coalescing intimacies of different kinds—corporeal, social, or spatial. The slow-evolving continuities of domestic dispositions betray traces of the rapidly shifting backdrop of public life.”-Adwait Singh, Aperture Foundation
