In this series of construction workers portraits, Tooten transforms local and migrant workers who are often overlooked as anonymous into people with pride and dignity. Their life is always at risk during their work at building sites.
Despite the hooded mask, these laborers suffer from dust, noise, pollution, and hardship.
For the Bangkok Art Biennale, Tooten’s portraits of construction workers are placed at public sights such as department stores and in high-rise buildings, a reminder that the labor workers are the essential part of a system that built the Bangkok, we are all living in today.
In 2018, Tooten was selected as one of the Artists for the first Bangkok Art Biennale by Artistic Director Prof. Dr. Apinan Poshyananda and this curator team, to display and screen this Worker Portrait photographs + Videos all over multiple locations within Bangkok.
