paper, printing house, kalabagan, dhaka, feb 2012

we are invited, to the printing house. from drik. planned it for a while and finally.

drik is printing a new book. about the liberation war. and around, teh struggle, teh suceed, editit by shahidul and reza, the two in charge of drik.

it was interesting. i like bookd , thinking about books, paper, size, texture, printing method.

so i liked it. i think sadia as well.

but printing is boring for everybody who is not interested. as mist of the things. just me and sadia are a bit of giegs.

in some points i was calculating. how much would it be to get books printed here. cheaper, more expensive. my mind started to think in numbers. rolling. depending on the size amount it would costs from 15 tahak till 800. manual colour managment, individual hand binding. quick delivery.
great deal.

i guess this is probably what a lot of people start to make business in bangladesh. realizing how cheap it is. and how important it is in that moment to save money. cause i don't have money. not enough to produce and sell and earn in germany. not even close. that would be a possibility.

also i help the economical system here. not the one in germany but here, in bangaldesh. and we are living in times of globalization. so what is wrong with that.

but when do u have enough money, and is it a justification for doing what you have. do the bangladeshi mind that you are coming from abroad and paying less than they would do in their country? or is it just business as usual, and with the foreigner from usual play and not knowing anything else in competing for the best deal.

at the end i am deciding against it, in my head. because of artistic choices. maybe not practical. i like to see my books produced not too me localy, but locally to my subject matters. that would be ncie.

or having a publisher. that would be also nice.

just one thing. the machines were from germany. he said, evi is from the same country the machines are from. i thought it was radnom and typical.

like beng in a foreign country and getting to everything everybody introduced which is kind of connected to germany. as i would automatically like it.

anyway he said, i ignored. but later, going through the different departments i started to understand.

the machines were, at least for me, amazing, from little whole air came out and made the paper not too the bottom of the machine. amzing.

the machine looks like from teh 60s. the brand settled in heidelberg, a little town in the southwest of germany, more popular for its university and good climate.

i got proud a bit.
