BY THE RIVER OF KINGS, Jacob Aue Sobol, SUPER LABO, 2016

A river becomes a portrait of a city and its people. Made along the Chao Phraya, the waterway that runs through Bangkok, this sequence records Jacob Aue Sobol’s encounters with those living on its banks and in its shadows. The photographs move between tenderness and intensity, revealing moments of intimacy, resilience and uncertainty. Printed in rich tritone reproduction, the book transforms a documentary journey into a deeply human reflection on connection, displacement and life along Thailand’s most symbolic river.
