RITE&RED DREAM
year 2011 / 2012Much has been shared on the political violence of 2010, but Harit Srikhao’s unique photographic perspective, with its on-rushing, vibrant immediacy, is born of direct impact.
Barely 15 then, he spent a long, emotionally-charged day trying to get home from school.
Because of the shooting around Zeer Rangsit shopping mall near his house, buses
were not running. Deciding to spend the night at a friend’s house, a 10-km walk away,
he trudged on through the descending night, passing gangs of teenage runaways,
prostitutes, packs of stray dogs.
Yes, he got lost; it was a nightmare that continues to plague his sleep to this day.
Two years on, he returned to the route, retracing his steps, compiling a photographic record which he calls his ‘Red Dream’.
The result is powerful, saturated with intense degrees of dread and fear, a questioning uncertainty towards everything being encountered
; the viewer gets caught up in his nightmarish adventures.
...
It is as if they are actually self-portraits through which his soul is gazing out
from the faces of these street children.
