The Garages

The closed microcosm of garage co-ops, where the socio-economic environment has blended with personal space, provides a step back in time.

Wagah

Each night the only border crossing between India and Pakistan on a 1000km stretch becomes the sight of an extraordinary event. Thousands of people gather to witness the ritual closing of the border, after which the masses get as close as possible to the gate to greet their former neighbors.
