মজলুমনামা - Mazlumnama


Repeated incidents causing injuries and deaths in Bangladeshi workplaces, often involving minors, are linked to systemic and regulatory issues rather than individual whims. Due to their frequency and similarity, these incidents can no longer be considered unforeseen accidents but results of managerial or structural negligence.

Stardust

Surface is a fiction, physicality another. Time begins to flow and incidents start to occur.

A billion years ago they ate some light, and dreamed of a pale blue dot. Is there a way for the cosmos to know itself?

They are born and they die, how strange! Blue turns red, how do they do it? What should they become?

Figuring

“Figuring” explores the relationship between a weary-decaying camera and an observer, translating the reality of the observable world in the process of iterative experimentations to find what is beneath the rational surface of photography techniques. It looks at the way of visualizing the light, and its behaviour as it creates formations when obstructed by mundane matters.

Exabytes

Annual global IP traffic has passed the zettabyte; 1000 exabytes threshold by the end of 2016 and will reach 2.3 zettabytes per year by 2020. Such a quantity of information has never existed before, and it all exists as a result of people communicating via virtual networks. Gradually digitizing them, leaving traces of themselves on a simulacrum of reality.

Moonriver

How do visual memories decay? What is the visual quality of the memory? As events are stored in memory or forgotten, how do their visual features change? Is it all because of the inevitable progress of the passage of time?

Creature's Corp.

Our modern institutions and business corporations function on common myths. In what sense can we claim that corporations exist? Corporations are fragments of our collective imagination. In legal terms, it's called “legal fiction’.
