Walls

We return again to my fascination with walls. India has lots of them, and they carry on their faces the scars and wrinkles of daily life. This Pepsi sign in the backlanes of old Delhi looks like it's been painted, subsumed, and restored many times over. A wall of torn political posters turns the contest of ideas into a contest for wall space - the end result resembles the output of a kindergarden. And finally an old wall - supporting a further five metres of ancient wall above it - built haphazardly but effectively by long gone bricklayers. These are the textures of India's cities.
