In Baksho Rohoshyo (Chobi Tumi Kar?), Naeem Mohaiemen returns to the photographs his father took in the 1950s, in what was then East Pakistan. In an attempt to recreate the stories behind the photographs he applies a nearly forensic approach as he presents the same black and white images to his relatives and asks them what they remember from when the picture was taken more than sixty years ago. It is Mohaiemen’s father and two aunts whose varying memories are now put to the test. – Katarina Pierre, Director, Bildmuseet Umea
