Born 1983 in Dhaka, Bangladesh,
where he lives and works.
Following the Government’s decision to close down 25 state- owned jute miles and lay off 57,000 workers through the “golden handshake” scheme in Bangladesh on 2 July 2020, Munem Wasif produced a series of 11 photographic works. Echoing the pain and precariousness of these people who have lost their jobs, he unfolds a poetic narrative around work, economy and resistance. Juxtaposing hand gestures with administrative documents, he reveals the contrast between human feelings and the objective reasoning of numbers.
