In questo episodio, scopriremo come è avvenuta la trasformazione sociale dell'India, ovvero il passaggio dal gruppo all'individuo, e in che modo i fotografi Sohrab Hura, Atul Loke e Pablo Bartolomew l'hanno raccontata.
Until very recently, the Indian lifestyle was one of community, but the move towards greater individualism has inspired the work of some increasingly introspective photographers.
A pioneer of this new intimate approach, Pablo Bartholomew has produced a dense body of work, based on his youth in the libertarian India of the 1970s and 80s. In his wake, Atul Loke has become a key witness of the disappearance of collective life by always photographing the building where he grew up. This immersion in the collective Indian psyche intensifies with the work of Sohrab Hura, whose private journal documenting his mother’s schizophrenia caused a sensation in a society where the maternal figure remains absolutely sacred.
Hier encore très communautaire, la vie des Indiens devient plus individualiste et suscite des travaux de photographes de plus en plus introspectifs – comme dans le reste du monde.
Pionnier de cette nouvelle veine intimiste, Pablo Bartholomew a livré une œuvre dense, fruit de sa jeunesse à travers l’Inde libertaire des années 70 et 80. Dans son sillage, Atul Loke est devenu le grand témoin de la disparition de la vie en collectivité en photographiant depuis toujours l’immeuble de son enfance. Cette plongée dans la psyché collective indienne s’intensifie avec Sohrab Hura, auteur d’un journal intime consacré à la schizophrénie de sa mère, et qui a fait sensation dans une société où la figure maternelle reste absolument sacrée.
