A veil of dreamy reality on subjects

The gray-yellowish colour conforms to the worldliness of the hut

Started on August 20, the exhibition contains 41 photographs taken by digital camera and then retouched on computer by the programme Adobe Photoshop. Asked whether this method of photo-editing spoils the reality of the subject, Tanvir says, 'Of course, it makes changes on the photos, on its subject for that matter, but this is how I wanted to see these objects--in my dreams.' Indeed the title of the exhibition, In My Dreams, seems fit for the presentation of the photos, as the colours, shapes, textures--everything changes in this presentation.

In one photograph Tanvir captures the mud wall of a village hut. He has totally changed the look of the picture and made the texture of the object more prominent. The gray-yellowish colour conforms to the worldliness of the hut. In another photo, a concrete wall depicts handwriting and other calligraphic works on it which turns different through Tanvir's digital editing. The exhibition ends today.
