This series of self portraits photography explores the concept and act of pilgrimage walk, a journey which historically in Buddhism was exclusively for men. In the series, Part photographs herself with a red vanity table and seat, dressed in white to signify the holy experience of self discovery and reflection. With this vanity, Parn extends the visual experience into performance art, by reading the classic Thai novel and play “Sangthong”.
Parn Poparisuth is a Thai-Chinese female artist whose work mostly focused on the ideas that revolve around her body — a female body, and the responsibilities that adhere to its stereotypes through contemporary Thai culture.
