Oblivion: A Pigeon's Journey on the Birth of a Nation

After Khemtid, a pigeon from the late 19th-Century Bangkok consumed a contaminated waste near Sanam Luang—a site shaped by overlapping histories of state power, ritual practice, and public life—time ceases to age him. For the next hundred years, Khemtid wanders the city beneath the shifting skies of Siam, bearing silent witness to the nation’s restless metamorphosis.
