Getty Images Grant winner Edwin Koo is screening his project, Paradise Lost, at Visa Pour l’Image tonight. Last year, as he was working on the project, he shared with us some of his experiences in Pakistan’s Swat Valley:
‘The Taliban’s stranglehold over Swat was only possible only because Swatis are such nice tolerant folks. For example, when Taliban militants came in the darkness of night to desecrate an ancient Buddha carving in Jahanabdal, 60-year-old Tooti Gul could only cower in his home. Gul, himself a Muslim, couldn’t understand the intolerance the Taliban bore for universal cultural heritage. His family had lived at the foot of the Buddha carving for generations. On countless summer evenings, he would sit there admiring the craftsmanship, as his cattle roamed in the surrounding valley.
Now, although the Taliban is gone, the scar on the now-faceless Buddha reminds Gul that “Udyana” (“The Garden” in Sanskrit) is lost. Today, the omnipresence of armed men and sentry posts cast a long shadow on the once idyllic valley.
Rashid [one of Koo’s subjects] spoke about this recently on Facebook. “Kids of Swat in streets are playing militant and military,” Rashid wrote. “… Even my niece Usra (8) and Liyba (6) frequently use (words like) curfew, operation … in their games, which is really shocking for me. That’s the reason why I am trying my best to play cricket and other cultural games with them to wash such things from their brains, but it’s not an easy task.”’
