About ‘Harit Srikhao: Cave Stories 0’
Cave Stories 0 is the first public iteration of an evolving body of work, shaped by a story Srikhao has hold on to since 2018 and developed during his recent residency at YDP. Drawing on local folktales and psychological studies, the exhibition invites visitors into an inner landscape woven from photography, moving image, drawing and puppetry.
The project begins with the 2018 Tham Luang cave rescue in Northern Thailand. Beneath the official narrative of the rescue as a national triumph, some quieter voices remained unheard. Following the journey of one of the rescued young footballers to the UK, and his tragic death in 2023, Srikhao reflects on the weight that stories of miracles could not hold.
‘Cave Stories 0’ attends to silences, residues and fractures. In this space, fragments diverge and reconverge, endings are held in suspension, and everyone might be able to begin again, differently.

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.
