Thai Politics no.7 consists of twenty-six photographs that show the military's television broadcasts that were made compulsory across all Thai channels in the period that followed the coup d'etat in May 2014. The images were taken by online contacts and submitted through social site.
'Thai Politics' is an ongoing series developed from the first major protest in Bangkok since 2006. Whilst exploring the differing political attitudes in Bangkok, the project also examines photography within an image rich world, from the rise of smart phone, proliferation of social media through to generative AI. Punctuating each addition to the series is not only a different dimension to people's political views and behaviours, but also a different approach to how they are captured and presented. This includes curating images found across social media (Thai Politics no.2, 4, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11) to the more traditional approach of digital and film photography (Thai politics no.1, 3, 5 and 6).
