Chai Siris started his art practice when he worked with homeless people at Bangkok’s Royal Ground. He continues to collaborate with people from various professions such as fortune tellers, photo lab technicians, construction workers, and housewives. His work, often video and photograph, deals with reconstruction of personal and social history. They are inspired from his observation of a village lifestyle.
