When the Delhi Metro started, artist Gigi Scaria would travel between
Rohini and Phulbangash and see a colonial bell tower with a quaint
compass en route. “It was so incongruous amidst a jungle of modern urban
structures that one couldn’t help notice it,” says the 34-year-old
artist, originally from Kottayam, Kerala. So Scaria took off one day
with a camera in hand, and captured cityscapes that spoke of layered
lives and survival stories of a city that had seen it all. “People who
saw the shot I had taken from Agrasen’s Baoli in Hailey Road thought it
was a digitised image. But it wasn’t. Delhi throws up so many
surprises,” he says.
