For the first time, the Prix Pictet has arrived in Thailand, bringing with it 12 photographers whose work has been shortlisted for the award’s tenth cycle. The theme, ‘Human’, is both vast and uncomfortably precise. Each artist approaches it from a different angle, tracing the mess and wonder of being alive – whether through documentary, portrait, or images that test the very limits of light. The subjects are unflinching: the violence of borders, the fragility of childhood, the slow collapse of economies, the endurance of Indigenous communities, the marks left behind by industry. Collectively, they ask who we are and what we have done to the planet entrusted to us. Founded seventeen years ago, the Prix Pictet has never felt more urgent.
Until November 23. Free. Bangkok Art and Culture Centre, 10am-8pm
