Much like a river, Bratislava-based photographer Jozef Macak found that by moving through an area—naturally, reflexively—his imagery would flow too. The river in question is the Buriganga of Bangladesh, the main protagonist of his latest project. The country has been called the ‘Land of Rivers’ as it is home to anywhere between 700-1,200 rivers according to various reports.
The Buriganga, which means ‘Old Ganges,’ was once the final section of the mighty sacred river, emptying into the Bay of Bengal. It has since shifted its course and can now be found along the outskirts of the capital city of Dhaka. Macak’s photographs, gathered in the project Tides of Life, capture the daily activity teeming alongside and within the river.
