Idolized (2019)

"Idolized" is the result of a photographic examination of the theme of foreignness during three consecutive stays in India. Contrary to expectation, more visits do not lead to a linear increase in understanding of this world, but rather make it even more complex and difficult to decipher. What shapes my view in a culture that I understand less with each visit? The mutual foreignness of the photographer and his surroundings remains the connecting theme of the images and makes visible what is probably only noticeable to a stranger.
