Amma est le 7ème et dernier volet du projet au long-cours de Vasantha Yogananthan, A Myth of Two Souls, qui propose une relecture contemporaine du Ramayana. S’inspirant de l’iconographie générée par le mythe et sa prégnance dans la société indienne, Vasantha Yogananthan a retracé l’itinéraire emprunté par les héros de l’épopée du nord au sud de l’Inde. Amma est centré sur la princesse Sita et traite du concept de “pureté”. Loin d’être une fin heureuse, la fin du Ramayana nous oblige à remettre en question le comportement de Rama et son obéissance aux règles établies par une société patriarcale. En revanche, les croyances et les actions de Sita sont libres de toute culture. Sita signifie sillon en sanskrit, elle est la fille de la Terre. Les images qui composent Amma nous emmènent du littoral du Sri Lanka à la ville d’Ayodhya en passant par la jungle du Bihar, en Inde. Leur gamme chromatique recrée un monde où la civilisation disparaît progressivement pour laisser place à un espace purement métaphysique. Le Ramayana n’a ni fin ni commencement. Il représente le cercle de la vie et sera donc toujours là.

"Afterlife is the sixth chapter of Vasantha Yogananthan’s long-term project A Myth of Two Souls 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 has retraced the legendary route from north to south India. A Myth of Two Souls is informed by the notion of a journey in time and space and offers a modern retelling of the tale. Afterlife is centered around the bloody war between the army of Ravana and the army of Rama. As its title suggests, the chapter deals with death and reincarnation. With Rama’s cruelty finally revealed, the series can be read as a visual exploration of one man’s descent into the darkness of the soul. Although the pictures were shot in Rajasthan and Tamil Nadu over two editions of Dussehra — the Indian festival celebrating the victory of good over evil — they do not document the festivities. They focus on the trance people try to reach night after night, as if during one week they were allowed to escape their bodies to become somebody else. Back to his studio, Yogananthan did collages by mixing several pictures together to put the viewer in a state of disorientation. The Ramayana has been continuously rewritten and reinterpreted through time, and for Yogananthan’s Afterlife has been retold by Indian writer Meena Kandasamy."-- Publisher's website
