| Imagine Being There International | |
The
project is about the yearning to be somewhere else all the time…the continuing
quest…
the searching for the other…for peace…for the ultimate
paradise.
For this project we asked people who were passing by to tell us about their
paradise.
We made video portraits in New York, Shanghai, Cairo, Nairobi and Rio
de Janeiro.
