All India Permit

The series ‘All India Permit’ was created in 2017 in northern India, out of the need to photographically interpret a country that I had not yet seen myself, but which is also familiar from many pictures, in a way that corresponds to my personal view.

The title ‘All India Permit’ describes a permission to travel beyond the borders of the Indian states, which I have interpreted here photographically as my permission to go beyond the boundaries of classic travel photography, to cast my gaze on an India to be discovered in a more subtle way.

Away from existing clichés and sights, my photographic journey of discovery began behind the scenes and between the big events and led me to the images shown here, which represent a small selection from a larger collection of images from this series.
