Reconstruction of Experience in Karail, Dhaka, 2019

Karail's resembles to a plant with thorny leaves I met in the Dhaka.
 

The motivation for this installation started with a few concepts. Geographical location, climate (heat), ready-made garment industry, precarity and fragility. When I examined all these concepts and willing to transfer them into objects, what I looked at was the Karail interiors. 
 

When we look at the Karail houses, one of the most influential object was the bed and a piece of cloth hanging on top of bed. This bed was both a kitchen and a living room, also a guest room and a bedroom. And the fabric at the top is one kind household material that is placed in order to cut the heat at a rate.
 

Karail's layout has some elaborate strategic features. 15 mosques, most of them built in the edges of the area to have protected region from probable of subversion that may occur one day. According to Islam religion, demolition of mosque is out of the question. In this respect, the self-preservation method of the thorny plant is similar to that of the Karail region.
