This is another of my beloved collages. It started to form in India at Christmas 2007, but in the end the main part was created in the subsequent year. I could not stop looking at it, so I decided to use a part of it again in Astrofocus® Wisdom of the Inner Voice (see here >>)

 "In the upper part along the towers of Reims cathedral, we see one of the most famous actors in India, Amitabha Bachan. Its significance for Indians is aptly captured in the Oscar-winning film The Slumdog Millionaire, where the boy for autographs from Bachan crawls a toilet full of shit. I didn´t put him on the Astrofocus® due glory but because in the film, during the shooting I've photographed him, plays a poltergeist. The only one who is not afraid of him is a boy from photo collage, because he does not believe in ghosts and thinks Bachan is an angel that he should replace his grandfather. The French girl on the collage had because of her grandfather a lifelong trauma that led her to smoke up to 80 hashish cigarettes a day. Delphic Sphinx is doubled, because in the case of addiction the future is always uncertain. It is a struggle in which winning battles mean nothing more than hope.

While photographing the cathedral a clock struck midnight and the lights of cathedral turned off. It was a lucky close, but at predicting you never know if pays happiness of photo taken on time or a message of the end of light."
