Kraisak Choonhavan needs no introduction. The outspoken former senator has played a prominebt role in the political arena as a champion for human rights, campaigning tirelessly against violence, extra judicial killings and Free Trade Agreements that are unfair to Thailand.

On the ‘lighter’ side of politics, Kraisak was the brain and prime mover behide the founding of the Office of Contemporary Art and Culture under the Ministry of Culture. Before this, no such official support existed for Thai contemporary art. Then there’s the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre, slated to open in mid-2007 – the fruit of many long years of his efforts.

Today Kathmandu Photo Gallery invites Kraisak to leave his place behind the scenes to take the art stage himself with “Imagine the Sky”, his series of before and after photographs of roadscapes. Using the computer to erase the billboards that clutter the roadside, from the city to the country, and to add greenery and flowers, Kraisak shows how our horizon could be inspired, if we could only imagine it.
