SACRED BODIES
Continuation from work in LAGAN series.These photographs show the end product of self imposed durational rituals that involve decorating my body with henna and kanku pigments. (see video examples in Video/Live section)
These repeated rituals are an attempt to experience something we in the western world seem to lack- a rite of passage, a coming of age acceptance into society. The only exsisting rite I know of which would accept me as an Indian man is to get married to another Indian. So what do I have to do to feel accepted as a British Indian?
