Steve McCurry (United States, 1950) reveals his vocation as a documentary maker in his photographs of India, taken over the course of his nearly one hundred visits to the subcontinent. Bearing witness to the urban growth of recent decades, these geopolitical pieces use street scenes to summarize the challenges faced by overpopulated metropolises with contrasting extremes. These are cities bound for rapid change where an ancient history nonetheless persists.
