Bangkok
is the one of the fastest growing city in Asia with strong
culture and religious influences from the past of China
and India and influence of the present western life style.
This makes Bangkok a very diverse. The change from the
past till now is very interesting. The photograph expresses
the present day of Bangkok with traces of those influences
in the past. It is a representation of time at various
locations in Bangkok that offers a holistic vision of
the similarity and differences of Bangkok to presents
a different perspective of what we see every day.
"Holistic
vision"
"Different
perspective"
View of the whole Environment
360X180 degrees
Normal Human Perception of the Environment
The
photographs are panoramic images with full
coverage of 360X180 degrees of the environment
from the point where the photograph was
taken that can be viewed in one take.
These are images that can not be seen through
normal human eye view.
Images of
the exhibition were selected from over 200 images
that were used for the materials of creating at-Bangkok
web site. The soul purpose of the images was to
present an alternative in providing visual information
of Bangkok's environment oriented towards travel
lifestyle and events. During the creation of at-Bangkok
website the images produced provided a new perspective
which encouraged me to display these perspective
that represent time and dimension to cross link
with normal perspective of Bangkok to encourage
the appreciation of Bangkok.
Technique
& Media
Digital
photographs are stitched together then re-composition
digitally.
The images are supposed to be spherically wrapped and
viewed from inside through web browsers. The photographs
are unwrapped to view as a traditional photograph with
this technique a holistic view from inside out is achieved.

At-Bangkok
Website

guide in the form of virtual reality environment that
capture the whole environment at that time where viewers

happenings that can be difficult to describe through other
forms of communication media (A photograph is worth a
