Photo Bangkok 2018

I would like to thank the organising committee of Photo Bangkok 2018 for inviting me to visit the festival. Here are my documentation photographs of the photofestival.
My involvement concerns the delivery of a public talk on 8 July 2018 at the Bangkok Art & Culture Centre. The talk details the histories of photobook productions in Southeast Asia, comparing the developments across various sites in the region. I also offer a typology of photobooks, based on our experiences in photobook-making across Southeast Asia.
