sunday

A large parking lot in the middle of a tentacular city, pickup trucks, makeshift “homes”, video calls, tattoos, mobile monks, and smoking grilled pork skin…

This series is part of a documentary project shot on film in Bangkok portraying construction workers from Thailand and Myanmar in their little free time. During the week, they are busy building the nearby high-end condominiums. Ironically, as days go by and new buildings rise, even their own “leisure” space is shrinking.

Some of them work even on Sunday. This selection focuses on the construction workers driving their pick-up trucks at the end of their long, dusty, and tiring shift. The light at this specific moment of the day reveals in a way a sense of relief behind their tinted windshields.
