​

Viriya Chotpanyavisut(born 1982, Bangkok; lives and works in Bangkok) Viriya often sees special elements in everyday objects, his photographs show us these ephemeral environments. When the appearance of light, shadow or natural phenomena that we can sense, for example temperature, moisture or substance in the air collide with the camera lens, flash etc. it gives us these photographs and an opportunity to see what the eye can not normally see, completely changing our perception toward those images. Viriya’s photographs make it possible to read an object as a new form.
