The Searchers (Part II) 2006
in collaboration with Jessica Sucher
The Searchers (Part II) is a series of portraits of Westerners that have converted to one of India's many spiritual traditions and live in or around India's spiritual centers, or have found their own path and live in isolation. Although this project began as a critique of this phenomena (India as a location for Western spiritual journeys - with all the historical, sociological and economic questions this activity summons up) the Western converts we encountered in India made us question our reductive assumptions.
