No Need

Single Channel Video, 2013

I don’t need so much love
Wordless lips humble life
I don’t need, no need…


                  -Rudra Muhammad Shahidullah


No Need from Palash Bhattacharjee on Vimeo.

When I cannot find words, the unspoken words create an action inside me. In this video I bind myself with a thick thread.
I recorded the hardship of the bindings in a thick thread in detail. Here I recorded myself  with severe hardship holding the camera in one hand and doing the performance with the other.


The video dedicated to Shahbag Movement (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013_Shahbag_protests) and all online bloggers and activist in Bangladesh. During the movements time made the video. Some snapshots of this video work published about the movement. I share the video in online. Yet I do not exhibit it any event .
