The exhibition features 4 artists; photographs from Paul Hilton’s World Press Award 2012 winning series on shark finning, as well as recent images of an estimated 30,000 fins drying on urban rooftops that shocked the world. Animal activist Jirayu Ekkul’s underwaterphotography shows sharks in their natural environment; while an anonymous installation artist creates work to reflect the mindless consumption culture of the controversial dish. Lastly an educational VDO edited by newly graduated award winning artist, Sipakorn Kungsapichart. All works aim to shake consumers out of complacency.
