Time Out says

At first glance, it looks like Pratchaya Phinthong has only shuffled the furniture at Bangkok CityCity Gallery. Step closer though and the whole thing tilts. The gallery’s glass facade has been repurposed into the walls of a vast aquarium that glows green from the street, hinting at life moving within. Yet once inside, the water feels unsettlingly still, almost mute. No fish to watch, no spectacle to reassure you. Instead, a fragile shelter cobbled together from real estate signs floats at the centre, like an echo of Bangkok’s endless construction. Below, shrimp meander across patches of underwater grass as if caretakers of a drowned world. The entire structure rests on concrete slabs hauled up from the car park, blurring exhibition and ruin until you’re unsure which is which.

Until September 13. Free. Bangkok CityCity Gallery, 24 hours
