Give Us A Little More Time

https://bookshoplibrary.com/product/give-us-a-little-more-time/
On May 22, 2014 marked the 13th Coup d’état of Thailand, the military junta seized the power and introduced the campaign called “Restoration of Happiness” but it is rather seen a ‘political doublespeak’ to pro-democracy Thais. As the junta augmented a delusion of ‘happiness’ by launching the inadvertently parodying song and other forms of entertainment to subdue the resistant citizens who were coerced into silence and even disappearance. One line of the absurd lyric lends the title of Siriphol’s project: GIVE US A LITTLE MORE TIME.

On the same day of the military coup, Siriphol started making a daily newspaper collage, and vowed to keep a routine until the national election was announced. He scissors Thai daily newspapers at how an image-text composition imposed by the doctrine of the military; and with his unique sensibility, he examines the bureaucratic inertia and hypocrisy. For the artist, this collage-making is a response towards the heavily controlled newspaper deemed no longer reliable to the concerned Thai citizens.
