Explore the authenticity of one-of-a-kind city, Bangkok, through the lenses of Ben Davies from England; Phichai Keawvichit from Thailand; Marcelo von Schwartz from Argentina Antonio Saba from Italy; and Yvan Cohen from England, each of whom is reputed for their distinct artistic styles.
Even though they have different backgrounds and perspectives, they share their love and experiences of living in Bangkok which has inspired them to create photography collections -- "Vanishing Bangkok: The Changing Face Of Bangkok", "Unlock", "Bangkok Dreamscapes", "Oneirism" and "Chinatown".
Ben Davies captured stunning black and white photos on a journey through the forgotten backstreets and hidden neighbourhoods of Bangkok, revealing the fragile beauty and faded charm of the city that is about to disappear forever beneath a tidal wave of development.
Meanwhile, Phichai recorded different shapes and corners of a building by his phone camera, Marcelo von Schwartz chose to portray the rapid changes and transformations of Bangkok.
Two works by Saba have been specifically selected for this timed auction. They are dense with meaning and allow for multiple interpretations, inviting viewers to investigate what happens beyond reality.
Cohen's photographs of the vibrant communities in Bangkok's Chinatown were from his personal odyssey, a visual exploration that echoes stories and history full of culture.
Bidding can be made via rcbauctions.com, invaluable.com and RCB Auctions application.
