Born in 1995, Bangkok, TH
Lives and works in Bangkok
Harit Srikhao is a visual artist looking at inherent relations in the composition of image making.
His practice focuses on the dilemma of photography, of being a subject and of being the subject performing the act of capturing - the dichotomy in front and behind the lens.
Working through interconnected themes from political traditions to aesthetics of power, all struck through with an intense effort to come to understand his personal experience
of being a subject and object, of surrendering the autonomy of one’s image and the struggle in reclaiming it, and giving it a body.
Photography functions as a device to address the delay in understanding, in coming to terms and examining the conditions of his position within the world.
From photographic diaries of moments to contemplate to staged setups where fictions are interwoven with facts in immortalized bodies of myths to delicate relations
of those of differing class make way for an interpersonal look of intimate relations of bodies deemed deviating by society.
