Description
Mahatma Gandhi’s name is regarded as a synonym for nonviolent resistance and the selfless engagement for freedom and human rights. His political activities and his social visions make him one of the most significant personalities of the last century. The photographer Anja Bohnhof followed in the geographical footsteps of this visionary and resistance fighter for a period of five years, travelling to many different places in India, Bangladesh, South Africa and Europe that were important for his life and work. This unique project required a great deal of perseverance and effort. Moreover, the work includes images of places that have not previously been considered in connection with Gandhi. The result is extensive and complex and offers numerous starting points for an examination that goes far beyond biographical aspects alone. Along with their documentary quality, the photographs are each charged with a compelling push and pull between contemporary aspects and a historical aura. The relevance of Gandhi today is also deepened through text contributions by Tushar A. Gandhi, a great-grandson of the Mahatma and the author Rainer Hörig, who is well-versed with South Asian affairs. Awards: Silver - German Photo Book Awards 2019I20 Award of Excellence, 10.
