Olivier Culmann - The Others

The Others invites us on a virtual journey through India, in many ways a divided society but also a country that's one of the world's most prolific producers of images. For this work, Olivier Culmann chose to use his own image as a tool to explore social fantasies and the questions of self and otherness. Fascinated by popular imagery and codes of staged photography, he used as a base material a series of portraits rendering the variety of components contributing to building individual identity: religion, caste, social class, occupation and regional origin.
