Sebastião Salgado
The World Through His Eyes
Organised by The Royal Photographic Society of Thailand
and Bangkok Art and Culture Centre, in collaboration
with Sundaram Tagore Gallery
8 February - 8 March 2017
Main Gallery, 8th floor

Opening Ceremony on Wednesday 8 February 2017 at 18.30 hrs.

Sebastião Salgado is one of the word’s greatest living photographers. In the past three
decades, he has traveled to more than 100 countries for his photographic projects.
Breaking down barriers, he lives with his subjects for weeks, immersing himself in their
environments. He sees himself as a participant entering their story. Within a single
frame, he captures the fragility and the fortitude of the human spirit.

For his first major exhibition in Thailand, the photographer presents iconic black-and-
white images from his most influential series: Workers (1986-1992), Exodus (1993 - 1999)
and Genesis (2004 - 2011). A portfolio of of 20 prints titled Other Americas will also be
on view. From hauntingly beautiful images of disappearing landscapes to scenes
chronicling the mass displacement of people across the globe, each of his works is
infused with empathy and respect.

Sebastião Salgado has been awarded numerous prominent photographic prizes in
recognition of his accomplishments. He is a UNICEFGoodwill Ambassador, and among
other distinctions, an honorary member of the Academy of Arts and Sciences in the USA.
Touring exhibitions of this work have been, and continue to be, presented in museums throughout the world. In 2013 the book De ma terre à la Terre (From my land to the
planet), a narrative account of Salgado’s life and career, was published, and in 2014,
the documentary film The Salt of the Earth, directed by Wim Wenders and Juliano
Ribeiro Salgado was released.

Main Gallery, 9th Floor

With the current political and social climate, it marks up the stage of transition not
onlylinks with what goes on around the SEA region but also parts of the world where
the contemporaneity is constituted with a shift of systematic of thoughts at present.
Whether it is neo-conservative uprising, progressive evolution, it paves the context for
the exhibition to broaden beyond existing boundaries to reassess current issues at hand
in their contemporaneous entirety. With the keywords such as humour, superiority, irony,
mass, and contradiction are some among many, suggested to encourage new thoughts
of self in relation to society. Through the sculptural works of the world famous artist,
Erwin Wurm, they offer various depths of philosophy with subliminity placing audience
at his central core to explore a light and humorous side yet critical state of self. The
intention of the exhibition is to present the artworks of the notable artist who has long
history in investigating the possibility of art on the relative planes of self and the reality
in the contemporary society.

Knowledge and understanding in eastern philosophy, especially Buddhism are also very
important that it is very difficult to deny them. Every time, some other elements from
the surroundings connect to this knowledge of philosophy, automatically to my mind.

The tranquility covers all the concepts. Notable characteristics of my works are calmness
and humility. Aesthetic in the normality of forms, content and emotion is preserved.
Some content may be changed according to certain conditions. I try to improve my work
gradually and avoid taking a big leap in order to retain my overall concept. Therefore, the
majority of my works are natural landscape works. The differences between symbols and
viewpoints can be seen according to my imagination at that time.

Interest and suspension for everything, which is related to survival and changes in
human’s life, have been posted the unanswerable question or the uncertain answer.
Or it is because of habits which make us to unintentionally overlook in things. Sometimes
the unreasonable flowing stream of questions in human’s mind representing the relations
between meanings, representing and co- cognition may be the distinct unanswerable
emotion.

Destination: Still Unknown
Pramuan Burusphat: A Retrospective
21 January - 26 February 2017
Studio, 4th floor

Destination: Still Unknown is a retrospective exhibition dedicated to Pramuan Burusphat
(b. 1953,Bangkok), eminent artist, educator and advocate of photography (as art).

Since the late 70s, Ajarn Pramuan has displayed a rare commitment towards photography
as his medium-of-choice in his artistic practice. A pioneer of conceptual photography in
Thailand, his work also incorporates collage and drawing. Pramuan’s usage of photography
is different from the salon photographers and the photojournalists. He enjoys
experimenting with different photographic processes and printing technologies, creating
imageries informed by his personal experiences. Pramuansees photography as a way to
connect and dialogue with the global community of artists and photographers. Since the
90s, Pramuan has also been thinking about the artist’s role in wastage and consumption
(through the making of art), prompting him to shift his work in a new direction. In many
ways, he is constantly ahead of the curve.

This retrospective aims to highlight some of the threads in his artistic practice. It is also
an occasion to celebrate Pramuan’s impact on Thai contemporary art.

In Southeast Asia, photography’s place in the visual arts remains uncertain. For decades,
Ajarn Pramuan found himself operating in an unsympathetic environment. Nevertheless,
since the late 70s, he has participated in ten solo shows and over 70 group exhibitions
across the world.
