About The Work
Zameen Asmaan Ka Farq (As far apart as the Earth is from the Sky )
Through photographs and texts the project 'Zameen Asmaan Ka Farq' documents the culture of touch between Indian men who live at the intersections of homosocial culture, friendship and love.
My fieldwork has taken me to urban centers, remote villages and tribal hamlets in sixteen Indian states.
I collaborate with individuals from a wide range of castes, classes and religions to make analog, medium-format portraits and record our conversations (to date 120+ recorded conversations in 12 languages).
Quote on text sheet:
" We have no female friends. We share brotherhood ... but our friendships are restricted ...
We cannot have an intimate friendship with women. Like with males, we are tight, but that is not the case with women here in villages."
Thomas, Jharkhand - 2017
