Gray area Is a some of series photographs refers to the landscape and the elements in the images that the artist employs. The subject is still a micro-phenomenon, a part of the natural order taking place in our absence. By picking out these fragments of reality that occur without us. The images conveythe transitional state from wakefulness to sleep, resembling the manner of a sleep disorder that is experienced during this hypnagogic state and exploring contemporary anxieties amidst the stillness. In this mysterious narrative, desolate landscapes littered with modernist ruins and futuristic objects in Bangkok are brought into stark focus, materializing and delving into the idea of a deep, immeasurable space. The images correspond to the emergence of ephemeral surroundings, showcasing everyday objects with a poetic and immaterial approach. These isolated locations give us a curious mix of calmness and relaxation as well as anxiety and fear. They also show the meaning of existence without the interference of human beings and without infrastructure. Again, there are no specifica- tions of time or place. All the elements necessary to our understanding are perceptible. These series as a whole appear to follow a voluntarily open narrative structure that shows enduring objects existing beyond theconfines of human touch. © Viriya Chotpanyavisut 2018

Urban Microscope _ Viriya’s focus a middle point between reality and imaginary world, photograph suggests alternative surrounding highlighting our exact position in connection with the environment. Within an urban structure, the artist notices trace of elements that is inaccessible or unnoticed by naked eyes to unfold their dependency connecting in different places. In phenomenon such as dust particle, water vaporization, reflection of light suggesting a distortion in colors, all might not be obvious but the camera makes it possible to halt the moment, disseminate the components, or saturate the space to reveal components that come from nothing. Science as well as spiritual on the same conceptual plane, his photographs point out waves of energy that are suspended for a moment to give a deserving opportunity for particles to convey what they have not had a chance to. They request for more re ned in systems of thought to understand intricateness of reality. The photographs are a witness in outstanding time and space to reflect beauty in an imperfect condition, the in-between stage, and the relationship of us in the existing world that if momentarily ignored will be abstracted and lost.

Satellite is a some of series photographs of ephemeral environment. All have in common that they entered into a semi-darkness so that the scattered light comes reveal the outline of objects, increase the share of empty materials to shimmer like the stars on the sky. This series is a very slow construction work that captures the invisible in the visible. Not the mystical invisibility of be- yond but rather the thoughts in form or the immaterial in matter.
