A Myth of Two Souls

A Myth of Two Souls is inspired by the epic tale The Ramayana. Drawing inspiration from the imagery associated with this myth and its pervasiveness in everyday Indian life, Vasantha Yogananthan is retracing the legendary route from north to south India. First recorded by the Sanskrit poet Valmiki around 300 BC, The Ramayana has been continuously rewritten and reinterpreted, and continues to evolve today. Yogananthan’s series is informed by the notion of a journey in time and offers a modern retelling of the tale. Through classic colour and hand-painted photography (see other gallery), A Myth of Two Souls interweaves fictional and historical stories with a narration that takes viewers on an epic journey.
 A Myth of Two Souls will be published in seven photobooks between 2016-2019, one per chapter of the tale.
