One Month

2008

15 pairs of photographs, inkjet prints, 50x50cm, edition of 3+AP

The idea comprises a series of paired portraits of Western tourists in a very different cultural environment. I went with a group of students to India and photographed each of them on the first and the last day of their visit, one month apart. The portraits are presented in pairs to emphasise their difference to the viewer. Having an insatiable curiosity about cultural differences, this project was my first and rather straight forward attempt to explore an influence of another culture / climate / style of life on people.
