Alain Soldeville

2003 - 2018
Alain Soldeville documents the ways in which Thailand is being altered while undergoing the transformation from a nation based on traditional values - monarchy, religion - to a modern, globalised country. His photographs show empty streets, devoid of life, glossy high fashion advertisements, ramshackle buildings and brand new shopping malls; they capture the incongruous, the strange juxtapositions in the urban landscape of Bangkok. Extract of an article by Oliver John: Caught between tradition and modernity.
