FEAR

FEAR
AN EXHIBITION BY MANIT SRIWANICHPOOM
KATHMANDU PHOTO GALLERY, BANGKOK
JULY 23 – SEPT 10, 2016


All three pillars of Thailand as depicted on the national flag: ‘Nation – Religion – Monarchy,’ have been passing through the ‘Tunnel of Transition’ in an unprecedented manner.  This tunnel has further dimmed and lengthened after the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) staged a coup d’etat against elected businessmen-cum-politicians on 22 May 2014.

No wonder ordinary citizens – economy class passengers on the ‘Thai High-Speed Train’– are falling prey to a panic attack. The ruled live in fear that this nightmarish train will forever circle the dark maze of power, greed and violence with no exit insight.  Fearful yet fearlessly uncompromising, and deeply moving, ‘Fear’ comprises 10 photographic series and 2 videos that Manit Sriwanichpoom has been producing through the upheavals, from Thailand’s last election in 2011 until the recent solar eclipse of March 9, 2016.

Five intense years have inspired a large number of art works; ‘Fear’ will open in 4 prestigious galleries and 2 countries. In Bangkok at Kathmandu Photo Gallery, H Gallery and Tang Contemporary Art from  July 23 – September 10, 2016; and in Singapore at Yavuz Gallery from  July 30 – September 20, 2016.
