matrimania / like polishing firewood
mahesh shantaram
When she looked at herself in her wedding photographs, Ammu felt the woman that looked back at her was someone else. A foolish jewelled bride. Her silk sunset-coloured sari shot with gold. Rings on every finger. White dots of sandalwood paste over her arched eye-brows. Looking at herself like this, Ammu’s soft mouth would twist into a small, bitter smile at the memory - not of the wedding itself so much as the fact that she had permitted herself to be so painstakingly decorated before being led to the gallows. It seemed so absurd. So futile. Like polishing firewood.
Arundhati Roy.
The God of Small Things.
Those of you who think that everything is invented in wedding photography, should review the work by this photographer from Bangalore. On the one hand, the wedding space itself becomes the objective. On the other hand, he portrays the wedding protagonists, guests and workers. The result, a portrait of that ethereal area between dream and reality.
