Surat Osathanugrah was the president of the Royal Photographic Society of Thailand.

This exhibition showcases the most memorable works by Surat, which focus on scene and people of Thailand. Besides being a historical record of old Bangkok, it is also a piece of art which Surat have beautifully framed each scene to capture these moments in the daily lives of people.

"Photograh in the exhibition Unhiddenness is therefore a series of images that interweave materials, utensils, and details in each frame, that tell the tale of ordinary people and their ways of life.The disappearance of certain everyday materials and utensils naturally will be replaced by newer version of these common articles and will in turn be passed on to the new generation of the observed, as well as the observer."
