'Kaeng Som' A thai culinary classic
B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 01/04/2012

That was the character of Thai cuisine in its original form, and one dish that remains a favourite today is kaeng som.

Her current exhibition, The Two Planet Series (2007-8), sees Thai villagers freely responding to artistic masterpieces of the 19th Century. Her previous work involves her singing to dead bodies, dressing up a suicide victim's corpse and filming the insane. So where does all this morbidity come from?

It was even suggested that MPs should line up to take a breathalyser test before they can enter the hallowed talking shop. What a splendid sight that would be. Mind you, if they had such a test in the British parliament they would never get a quorum.
