Bamboo scaffolding, knotted aerial lines, hand painted signs or converted plastic bags: The objects photographed in Thailand by Thomas Kalak, are sometimes unusual, both funny and peculiar, and often mind-boggling. Far from the world of clichés, Kalak finds motifs that complement and enhance the famous image of the country and simultaneously document the unshakable cheer of the Thai people as true masters of improvisation. Individually portrayed and objectively documentary photographed, the strange yet commonplace, at least in Thailand, objects and arrangements remind us of the famous “ready-mades”* from the beginning of the 20th century. This book is a “must have” for all Thailand enthusiasts, because everyone has seen the collection of items at some time or other, but often not really consciously. Bambusgerüste, Oberleitungsknoten, handgemalte Schilder oder umfunktionierte Plastiktüten: Es sind außergewöhnliche, humorvolle und oft rätselhafte Gegenstände, die der Münchner Fotograf Thomas Kalak in Thailand porträtiert hat. Jenseits der Klischees findet Kalak Motive, die das bekannte Bild des Landes ergänzen und vertiefen und zugleich die heitere Unerschütterlichkeit des Thailänders als Meister der Improvisation dokumentieren. |
