The village of Pongin is located in the far northeast of India, in the heart of a huge forest. This is where the Adi, the "men of the hills", live; an ethnic group scattered in the Himalayan region. With Oni, Philippe Simay discovers a people whose habitat and lifestyle revolve around a local material, bamboo, with often unknown virtues. Here, bamboo is used not only to build the basic structure of the houses, but also the walls and furniture of the houses. Residents recycle the elements over time to keep their homes in condition.
