HELLO GUYS
2023
Samakkaew produced this live drawing series in front of a brothel in the red-light district near Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof. The project began with an attempt to draw inside the building. Moving through the space as a regular visitor, Samakkaew sought to observe the environment from within. However, the presence of surveillance cameras and the conditions of the interior made this approach difficult. The series consists of twelve drawings on paper, subsequently produced from the street outside the building through direct observation of the surrounding environment and its activity. Produced on small sheets of paper concealed within the pocket of a hoodie, the drawings were made discreetly and in close proximity to the site.
The project is realised with support from Akademie der Künste and in collaboration with unthaitled.
