Here are all the Unfolding Bangkok art installations at Benchakitti Park

Suriya Amphansirirat reimagines the harmony of nature, life, and the universe through an upcycled metal installation that features three circular trays, all of which contain a growing rice paddy. Each tray is meant to symbolize eight hours in a day (three to depict all 24 hours in one day), while the rice symbolizes solar-powered food that are essential for humans to survive.

Wit Pimkarnchanaphong shows how stingless bees are crucial to the ecosystem through a massive tower of wooden boxes, inspired by the condo buildings that loom over the park. These boxes serve as a home to these tiny and harmless insects, similar to how condos serve humans.

Inspired by hornbills that only live in peaceful forests, Nino Saraputra, together with the clay artists in Nakhon Phanom, has created 200 clay pots that will become habitats and safe havens for birds and creatures that want to escape urban development and the city’s bustling streets.

Architect Attaporn Konkongsanti has created a life-sized circle made of up colorful rectangles. It is similar to a kaleidoscope in both looks and purpose—this installation invites you to see Benchakitti Park in different colors and in a new way.

Sanitas Padittassanee offers a place of respite and silence in the middle of the city through an installation that invites passersby to pause, rest, contemplate, and observe their moving environment.
