Afterlife, the latest chapter in
A Myth of Two Souls,
Vasantha Yogananthan’s pictorial retelling of the
Ramayana¸ explores themes of war, death, and reincarnation. The French photographer talks to us about the newest instalment in the book, the pros and cons of working on a project for several years, as well as his fluid approach to creating.
Afterlife showcases a variety of images where the ancient epic is married with contemporary Indian culture, and it’s this respect and mastering of past and present where we can appreciate the timelessness of Yogananthan’s work.
