"Far from us, in dreams and time, India belongs to the ancient orient of the soul." André Malraux "India, dream of stone" is a book of photographs which evokes the mysterious world of the most celebrated medieval Indian sites: Badami, Hampi, Mahabalipuram, Khajuraho, Varanasi, etc... The photographer, in his quest for a deeper understanding of sacred life, developed an interest for temples and sculptures as well as pilgrims and saddhus who haunt these sacred places. He depicts a mosaic of portraits, beings of stone and flesh connected by the common destiny of the search for their soul.
