Hanuman
The Hanuman series of over 20 pictures was inspired by Hans's trip in autumn 1998 from London to Vrindavan, India overland by bus. An epic journey taking him through Germany, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Syria, Jordan, Jerusalem, Iran, Pakistan and finally into India.
Hans pays homage to eastern spirituality in an unconventional portrayal of characters and episodes from the great Indian epic the Ramayana. The impressions from his travels form the background to the story of Hanuman, the Indian monkey god and personification of devotion. When Sita is abducted by the evil Ravanna her beloved husband Rama and his brother Lakshman set out to find her. In the course of their search they meet Hanuman who sets himself the task of finding Sita. Hanuman embodies a centrally important moral principle, how to discover your own potential in the face of great challenges.
The work was produced during the years 1998 to 2001 and has been widely shown including exhibitions in Berlin and Russelsheim curated Dagmar Eichhorn. A catalogue "The Hanuman Cycle" Overland to India" has been published by Opel. The catalogue text to the pictures is reproduced below the pictures when they are selected.
