Dhaka Day by Day

Suffering of the Soul Caught by the Lense

by Fayta Haq
Tanvlr, the young innovative photographed who had his exhibition at the Alliance Fran calse. was full of promise In his solo venture. There was dormant symbolism and Impressionism In hts work where every leaf or human figure stood for something beyond the obvious He appeared to have a gcxxl grasp of the play of light and shade. He used natural light Jn an Imaginative manner and transformed the simple things in life as something dramatic or poetic. Even his framing was done tn an Ingenious way.
In his "Window" he created four lines for a frame from which one could view the day la bourers working on the embankment near Lal-bugh. Wc see them from a far We don t want to get Involved with them and their struggle. Thus there is a definite difference between us. the bourgeoisie and the have-nots
From Shakharibazar he got the shot of his "Life cycle" where he showed only a part of the "shakha ' being decorated with a fife. and a wooden pole ."Mankind will struggle and will
locks. Similarly In Me und my Fate" he has shown a small child selling potato chips . She did not create this situation in which she will have to accost the rich Someone has thrust the situation on her and she is caught In the web of peddling her ware at a lender age In life. " Tanvlr commented. The picture was tak cn on Palanga beach. The well-to-do merrymakers were also seen on the acene. The sea and the sky were beautifully captured with subtle colours, this was oik.- of the rare colour photographs on display.
The scene shifted to Kamafopur station tn "Dhaka" "Many people In niufasstl' ureas arc told to go to Dhaka to earn their fortune. Il Is an empty dream. There Is progress and development around but not everybody cun benefit from it." the photographer elaborated
In "Crucified" the angle of the picture has been taken In such a way that the combination of circles on the floor ended up looking like a cross, the man seen In the picture vras a vendor carrying poles and sacks , almost as If he
be repaid only for part of his work In a place like Bangladesh" was Tamir's comment. This simple theme was poetically delineated. The constantly recurring subject of pride of labour was presented with care and precision.
Talking about The End of the Road", the photographer commented." I used black and white because it k-aves a lol to the Imagination and Is not exactly what one aces in life. The processing, films and chemicals are not easily available whereas
was shouldering a crucifix.
Two starkly naked children were see'll in "Stranded" It appeared that they hnd no om- to care for tlx-m anti as 1f they had no one of their own. To eniphualac the feeling of loneliness a lot of space had been had been k-fi In front.
"Those were the Days" was shot at the Osmania Memorial last Ekushcy. The picture was that of a cutout on a hardboard with actual yellow and green leaves in the backdrop .The peaceful scene that wv see belong only to story-
you have a greater option with colours. Again, wc get only one type of paper. " In this picture wc could ace a man sitting with his hands helplessly held over his head. In complete resignation. "Nowadays the old are no longer with the Joint family. When old and unemployed you still need companionship but the infirm and aged are gradually being abandoned by our society where we have no old homes for them to lake shelter in."
In "Horizon" the photographer has delineated the end of life. "When a man retires he feels hia ultimate achievement Is zero like the empty basket carried by the farmer. One is only recognised and praised after one s death when all the praise in the world docs you little good,Tanvlr commented and elaborated on his work.
A child was shown caught up In the problem of life that he had not created himself In "Imprisoned". This little urchin was seen behind enormous and bewildering chains and
books. In reality there Is no true peace." was Tanvir's comment.
"Creation " In Dhamrai had clay moulds tn which metal was being poured in . The lean . dexterous and hard working artisan was creating Items of good quality. "Yet he docs not enjoy a good standard of living . I fell I must capture his efforts and dedication." elaborated the photographic.
The rickshawpuller caught In the rain and drenched through was depleted in "Shelter" This was once again a rare colour picture. The soft green and the blue of the rickshaw made II appear attractive and different from many of the portrayals of need and hunger in the other entrees.
When an artist has a decisive message to give, and portrays the reality of every existence. as Tanvlr did. one is convinced that photography too is an art to study and admire. The departure from scenic beauties and mere decoration was laudable indeed.
