Lek Kiatsirikajorn has recently completed a project called ‘Lost in Paradise’. The project focuses on rural workers who have left their region of origin to work and live in Bangkok, existing in a no man’s land of peri-urban settlements where, paradoxically, nature is beginning to reassert its authority. Through these images Lek aims to present an allegory for modern Thailand: the country as a whole, like these workers, left its past of agriculture behind in search of a better life, but now finds itself trapped between this lost history and a better future which seems to remain just out of reach.
