NANOTHAILAND
19 Jun at 100 tonson gallery
NANOTHAILAND is a series of photographs that addresses the artist's interest in cultural hybridism. The artist has photographed so-called minorities going about their daily lives in Thailand. Montri's subjects include immigrants, refugees and exiles. However, rather than reinforcing the idea of a minority - the idea that some people are essentially different from a general populace – Montri asks us to consider the fact that all societies and cultures are fundamentally a melting pot of differences.
