Thweep Rittinaphakorn - learning about yourself through collecting
from The Photo Vault: A journey into Vernacular Photography, Archives and Photobooks · host Lukas Birk, Thweep Rittinaphakorn
In this episode, we meet Thweep Rittinaphakorn, also known as Ake, in Bangkok, and explore his collection of photographs from Myanmar during the colonial era. Ake is an expert in Myanmar textiles who ventured into collecting photography and released a photobook from a very different background. His collection is fascinating and multi-layered, as he doesn't approach his images from a pictorial point of view but rather through an examination of materiality. Find out more about Ake on his Instagram and check out his recently released book.
