The India Vision Quest

A collaborative project led by Wolfgang Zurborn, a respected photographer
·18 amateur photographers created a remarkable appraisal of their home country, portraying everyday Indian life

A total of 18 Indian photographers, all taking part in master classes directed by Wolfgang Zurborn, observed life in the up-and-coming cities of Ahmedabad and Kolkata. This photo book includes images of vibrant nightlife, neighbors living side by side, street poverty and working people. Regardless of the multi-faceted approaches of the photographers, they all explore existential issues and use their own individual perspectives to create an impression of their culture. This is a no-nonsense book devoid of folkloristic idealization.
