The exhibition from Props Gallery features work in a series of photographs that project beauty, time and space. Its hard to see something when its moving so fast, but at the same time, people dont seem to notice the movement of something thats moving so slowly either. This is the thinking that went in to creating this series of photographs, in which 20 images of men and women are lined up for viewers to gradually notice the changing course of time taking place in the space and time of the exhibition.

Wasan RiaoklangBorn 24 June 1981 Education - B.F.A. Painting Faculty of Painting, Sculpture and Graphic Art Silpakorn University, Bangkok, Thailand Introduce Until today, my work mainly consists of installation and video art. Although I may express it in different mediums, all my work draws its inspiration from Buddhism and the development of technology. In contrast to the worldly belief in consumerism and materialism, I believe that the improvement of mankind can be reached through the betterment of the mind and the soul.

The members of TUUB design heartshaped graphic for stickers and screened tshirts using the type of font commonly used for stickers tuckers put on their trucks. Both the stickers and t-shirts will be available for sale at mobile stalls around the fair at this years BDF. Some of the ideas for the concept come from the interpretation of Thai culture through simple design objects such as sticker and t-shirt. Another activity by the group is the projection of people in the design profession as an ordinary salaryman, who also has to work hard to make a living like other people in the society.

3 photographers project different courses of time and rhythm people design for different aspects of their lives. Tanaratch Wangsiripaisan proposes the idea that people can design their own attitudes to be the most valuable for themselves through the projection of the lives of the workers in the sugarcane field, who rank at the lowest position in the bitter sweet road of sugar industry. Prach Kongsapto Rohartchun illustrates the delicate allocation of life; the starting of a good family as the foundation of the design of our future and society, using the image of a family tree. Pijak Thanunchaiyabutr reflects the last design of life through the captured expressions of faces that will be remembered until the very last breath.The straightforward projections of mundane, yet, universal stories through the art of photography, with the hope for whoever has the chance to see these photographs to take a time to stop, look back at their own design of life, and find the right answer to the soul searching question, Do I have any regrets in the life Im leading?.
