" Hello again, Mom wanted to take my pic besides the human Blythe lady Zooey Deschanel. She thinks I look a bit like her. I think her fringe is much nicer than mine though and she has no frizz at all!"

Back in 2016 the Francophinie summit was held in Madagascar and the ministry of population just decided to clean up the street to hide the poverty from being seen. They loaded an entire truck of homeless each night. Those human have been treated like a herd of zebu before being taken into a hangar. They were not allowed to go out during certain day and they were not given food.
CCWeek24: Breaking the Rules (Add a human)
No human added today! But WHAT IF I could somehow get a model up there to stare at the camera? Lying on her side in a red dress on top of that yellow sign. Maybe the niece of nephew Lee. I wonder if she looks good. She's probably pretty old. Maybe put wings on her. Hmm. I would need insurance. She could fall off.
Globalism is currently working in two distinct ways. One is an attempt to submerge the world into a singular "global" political-economy. Here the corporations that power the markets have the upper hand, and so it is possible to see international architecture that now looks the same everywhere; famous franchises all over the world where the food and coffee is the same; worldwide media that is essentially controlled by six major corporations. This is the standardised, one-size-fits-all model. And I loathe it.
But there is also a countercurrent at work - often referred to as multiculturalism (though I'd rather lose the "-ism"). This is where local cultures are cherished and encouraged. Real difference is acknowledged and relationships through mutual understanding are key to a peaceful community. There are photographers working in this field in Australia right now. Here is some of their work.
From top left we have Shirin Neshat (born Iran 1957) "I am its secret" 1993 from her series "Women of Allah".
In the middle is Zhang Huan (born China 1965) "1/2 Text" where the body is inscribed.
The wonderfully colourful portrait of young African men is by Leonce Agbodjelou (born Benin 1965).
Underneath those are the evocative portraits of Greek mourners by Georgia Metaxas (born Australia 1974).
On the right we have an interesting presentation with a trigger warning. You can read all about it by enlarging this collage. It tells us a great deal about a society that is more offended by the image of a dead worker, than the fact that a real person was murdered.
We are human, after all.
Much in common, after all.
We are human, after all.
Flesh uncovered, after all.

Art montage animation. 25 seconds.
"Everyone carries a room about inside them.
This fact can be proved by means of the sense of hearing.
If someone walks fast and one pricks up one's ears
and listens, say at night, when everything round about
is quiet, one hears, for instance, the rattling
of a mirror not quite firmly fastened to the wall."
- Franz Kafka, "Blue Octavo Notebooks" (1917-19).
Is there any more enigmatic writer in the early 20th century than the great Bohemian Franz Kafka (1883-1924)? Kafka's worked opened the door to questions about existence and freedom as his world lurched from one world war to the next (which mercifully he did not live to see). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franz_Kafka
Inspired by these questions of Kafka, contemporary composer Max Richter has recorded a great double album, "The Blue Notebook" (Deutsche Grammophon, 2018). To back up my images of the disassembled self in modernity, I have included the words of Kafka narrated by Tilda Swinton.
You may want to watch this short animation several times.
A human being, in obvious horrible circumstances
lays on the filthy pavement
as life goes on around him...............
people pass by him........
most dont even know he
is there.
This is a very common scene
in South Asia,
and
Dhaka
has some of the most
deformed beggars i have
ever seen.
The point here:
a human being living like this
is ACCEPTABLE
is OK
He is a fixture in KHILKHET,
like the train that passes every 15 minutes,
like the merchants who sell bananas
fish, okra, & candy.
there are no social services
there is no help from the government
he is on his own!
Where is his mom, his pop?
Please indulge me a little here 😡
BANGLADESHI shooters mostly shoot weddings and portraits. Some shoot photojournalistic themes.
Many do it to win ridiculous awards...........
But i ask..............
Where are the images of these human beings that live day to day suffering in intense heat, during monsoons, living in dire circumstances, laying maimed on the streets ?
Who advocates for them?
I blame these shooters as much as the politicians who do nothing to help the situation except stuff money in their pockets.
enough said!
Joy Bangla!
