Auroville

Auroville, the City Of Dawn, is an experimental townshop in southern India, founded almost 50 years ago to become a place of human unity, regardless of race, belief for people from all over the world to live together in peace and progressive harmony. Today Auroville has more than 2.600 citizens and shortly before its anniversary struggling with its past and future. My Conceptual Series "Living in Utopia" consists of portraits paired with quotes and pictures of buildings in a strange light, that resembles neither day nor night.
