Join us for the Open Studio of our Artist-in-Residence, Harit Srikhao.
In the past nine weeks at YDP, Harit has been exploring the connection between memory, storytelling, mysticism, the occult, the psyche and the Jungian concept of the collective subconscious. From an initial attempt to give form to an absence, as a response to the 2018 Tham Luang cave rescue, Harit’s project has evolved into a process of allowing the absent to reveal its own presence.
Harit’s studio doors will be open for one afternoon. Come for a unique opportunity to see and hear about his research, works-in-progress, and the stories that have guided his quest.

About the Artist
Harit Srikhao (b. 1995, Bangkok) lives in Pathum Thani. Rooted in photography, his multimedia practice engages with interconnected themes spanning the aesthetics of power and bodily autonomy, ranging from diaries documenting fleeting moments to staged imagery. For Srikhao, photography functions as a method for addressing delays in understanding, coming to terms with and recomposing relationships in the world. This approach is driven by an intense effort to grapple with his personal experience of being both a subject and an object: surrendering control over one’s image, struggling to reclaim one’s agency and the process of giving it a body.
Srikhao has a BFA from King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang in Bangkok and an MFA from the Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti in Milan. His work has been collected by museums including Musée de l’Elysée (Photo Elysée), Lausanne; Foam Photography Museum, Amsterdam; and Kiyosato Museum of Photographic Arts, Yamanashi.
