坐在车顶看世界:实拍孟加拉国穷人的“死亡火车”
近三千公里的铁路轨道交错孟加拉国的三角洲低洼地区,连接着首都达卡与吉大港、加尔各答西南等地。该系统由英国于1862年建立,比起孟加拉国独立还早100年。
孟加拉的火车每年接载的乘客达4千万人次,车厢分三个等级:冷气车厢、头等和次等,但是除了车厢内,还未计算那些在车顶、在狭缝、在火车链接处和在车尾的搭客们。为什么要如此冒险的乘坐火车呢?答案很简单,因为不用付钱。那么他们又都是什么人呢?当然不是超人或特务,而是普通的平民,要搭乘火车往返工作,但根本就支付不起车票,又或者大家都这样做,能省下一些钱,毕竟当地人的薪金确实少得可怜。人们在挤拥时,没有任何可以扶的地方,但是又要想尽办法固定自己,但不论如何做,每年都有人因此丧命,摄影师这辑作品亦是要揭示这种危险。GMB Akash问一位以这种危险方式乘坐列车20年的木匠Majed Miya乘坐感受,Miya说:“我很享受这种在车顶的感觉,在这没有人打扰我,除了对死亡的恐惧。”看来这已经变成一种习惯与文化,亦根植於当国的贫穷问题,解决之日仍遥遥无期。
