Description
DISCOVER THE HIDDEN HEART OF CONTEMPORARY THAILAND THROUGH 140 IMAGES OF ABANDONED GHOST TOWERS, HIDDEN CANALS AND THE DOOMED HOPEWELL SITE + INTERVIEWS WITH BANGKOK’S GRAFFITI WRITERS AND STREET ARTISTS AS THEY TELL OF DICTATORSHIP’S COST, DEVELOPMENT’S FALLOUT AND THE IMPACT OF CORRUPTION ON A NATION BALANCING BETWEEN GLOBAL FORCES AND LOCAL TRADITIONS.
“This sharp-eyed survey of Bangkok's kaleidoscopic graffiti, street art and Four Kings tagging exposes the city's unofficial social and urban history, its decay and corruption.” — Kong Rithdee, Writer and translator
“Rupert Mann’s enlightening commentaries, curated photographs and artist interviews provide a fascinating cut into the multi-leveled strata of Bangkok, following fault lines revealed through the artful markings bleeding from its concrete.” — Nicolas Verstappen, author of The Art of Thai Comics
