The shunyo raja monographies
The Shunyo Raja Monographies is an ongoing 9-year long term photography trilogy that proposes three conceptually distinct ways of visualising the Bengal Delta, considered one of the ground zeros of climate change. The rising sea levels and surging rivers have submerged many islands in the region and put millions of people at risk of becoming climate refugees. This work visually maps the trajectory of those displaced, homes destroyed, schools collapsed, and landscapes lost due to erosion, sea level rise, and cyclonic activity.
In the exhibition two of the three project’s chapter:
Kings of a bereft land: a photography project comprising portraits and landscapes, mapping erosion and sea level rise in the Bengal Delta across India and Bangladesh.
Where do we go when the final wave hits : a photographic framework that creates an equivalence betweenthe battle against climate change and the global war on terror, which both deal with invisible yet omnipresent omnipotent enemies that can strike anytime anyhow anywhere. Water is the element of terror here.
