Guttera Khali (Under the Gutter) is an ongoing stop-motion film through pinhole photographs that investigates the sewers of Mumbai, often reminiscent of London’s underground networks. The fecal matters that traverse the hidden infrastructures, the work examines climate change, and the overlooked ecological consequences embedded within urban systems.
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Snigdha Rana (she/her) is a multidisciplinary artist from Mumbai, India, whose practice explores the abjected, rejected, and taboo across drawing, watercolour, and analogue photography. She completed her BFA in Contemporary Art Practice from Srishti School of Art Design and Technology, Bangalore and is currently completing her masters in Art and Ecology from Goldsmiths. Her early works examined confined spaces such as bathrooms, and gradually extended into subterranean environments of the sewers, the overlooked aspects of everyday life.
