Focusing on the historical region of Bengal, which today includes India and Bangladesh, Bangladeshi photographer Sarker Protick transfers an examination of the colonial history of the British Empire to a photographic study of the present. He is interested in the expansion of the railroad and the development of coal mining in the nineteenth century. While traveling through the region, he created a body of photographs that addresses the global, geopolitical, and historical dimensions of imperialism and its impact on the climate crisis, using a visual language that is precise and atmospheric. C/O Berlin presents his first exhibition in Germany.
