As the curtain rises on the 2023 edition of the prestigious photo festival, here’s a guide to the rising image-makers stealing the show
Bangladeshi photographer Md Fazla Rabbi Fatiq perfectly encapsulates the air of looming danger and fear of contamination that prevailed during the Covid-19 pandemic. Exhibited in the Discovery Award section, an array of iridescent images from his serieszooms in on everyday objects, abstracting and exaggerating them to eerie effect.
“Created within the lexicon of the pandemic and its effect on the mind and body – death, decay, trepidation, relief – Fatiq’s visceral explorations gesture towards that which lies beyond the frame,” writes Tanvi Mishra in an accompanying text. “In taking on a surrealistic aesthetic, the domestic space assumes a psychological dimension, recalling the interior volatility of the pandemic.
Expanding upon this, some of the most affecting works see the artist combine archive imagery of his father with his own self-portraits, resulting in what Tanvi Mishra terms “a cathartic dialogue with the patriarch of his family”, whereby Ahmed finds “resonance in a man he once found distant”. The result is a simultaneously personal and universal musing on the trials and trappings of so-called masculinity and the inherited notion of societal norms.
