You must see the impressive Hermes window in London, Thirty-six aluminium silver birch trees, reaching up to eight metres in height, populate the ground floor and surrounding pavement of the Hermès store on New Bond Street in London, allowing passers-by to become “caught in the forest”.

Hermès presents the works of two acclaimed Indian photographers Raghubir Singh and Dayanita Singh. With over 55 rare photographs on display, The Home and the World reveals the social complexity, modern contradiction, and natural magnificence of the country of India through the lens of two photographers of two very different artistic visions. The images offer a profoundly personal and intimate voice describing their perception and recognition of an evolving country.

Located on the second floor of Hermès at Berlin Friedrichstrasse 171, The Home and the World will be open to the public from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday through Saturdays.
