TEXT & PHOTO: PEERAPAT WIMOLRUNGKARAT

This project is called ‘Future Board’ and it is a photo series of campaign posters from people who are volunteering to run the country in the future.
The initial intention was to go out and take pictures around the neighborhood. While I was riding in a car, I saw campaign posters on both sides of the road that caught my interest to explore different aspects of the campaign posters.
The posters are filled with policies, speeches, letters, and little connotations. Taking pictures is a way to record the promises made by politicians on the posters.
Campaign posters posted everywhere during elections may make the city vibrant, but they can also be visually polluting. Some posters are hastily posted without regard to pedestrians. Taking these pictures of posters raises the question: are campaign posters still effective?
