Book excerpt: Mumbai is India’s most affluent city and one of the most densely populated metropolises in the world. Each day thousands flock here, seduced by the urban dream and end up sleeping on the streets. Critically acclaimed documentary filmmaker and photographer, Dhruv Dhawan, spent three years roaming the streets of Mumbai capturing portraits of the unconscious while documenting a phenomena of urbanization in the 21st century where space has become so scarce that private acts are conducted in public.The Mumbai Sleeping Collection is a testament to the resilience and spirit of the lower class urban population who expose the diversity of a basic human experience and the question of whether a good night’s sleep is a luxury or a necessity.
