Manit Sriwanichpoom – Memorandum : Within or Without
From 25 November 2022 to 3 January 2023
Jimei x Arles, International Photo festival 2022
Xiamen, Chine
Each year the Jimei x Arles International Photo Festival focuses on the photography scene of an Asian country. After Singapore (2021), Japan (2020), this year Jimei x Arles will focus on Thailand.
Manit’s creations take an in-depth look at the political climate in contemporary Thai society. His most famous series, Pink Man, features a man in a pink suit pushing a pink shopping cart, appearing inopportunely on the streets of Thailand and around the world. Created since 1997, this series reflects the prevailing consumerism in Thailand at that time, and the struggles of Asian countries when dealing with modernity.
