An egalitarian exhibition
Life, Apipar Norapoompipat, Published on 03/04/2019
» Placed methodically across the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre's (BACC) 8th floor gallery are 200 little figurines of a boy pointing towards the sky. Each decorated, painted and reimagined in different ways by international and Thai artists tells a story of their own. There's one wearing a camo military uniform donning multiple watches, one lying on the floor in a pool of blood, and one on a wooden pedestal -- dressed in a traditional Thai headdress with tiny little zebras lined up on the floor next to it.

Place.

The hovering eye
Life, Apipar Norapoompipat, Published on 23/01/2019
» 'I shoot a lot of crap every day," said Thomas Hoepker after being asked what it feels like to be lauded as a master photographer. "You see something and a car comes, or the person I wanted to photograph turns around. I would say, if I walk on the street in the evening, I see 10 pictures, maybe one I keep from that scene."

Waking the dead
Life, Apipar Norapoompipat, Published on 18/01/2019
» Walking along Khon Kaen's historic Srichan Road, you might expect tumbleweed to roll past at any given moment. The shophouses that line the street are shut -- empty and abandoned. Roadside restaurants are scarce and vacant. Apart from the one café and jazz bar down the street, there's nothing to see or do. Srichan Road, put simply, is dead.

Life, Apipar Norapoompipat, Published on 09/01/2019
» If Miguel Januario had been born in Thailand, he probably would have been arrested or sent to a "re-education camp" by now.
