Underground film-maker Mark Hejnar lived in Thailand for four
years, during which time he relentlessly explored the far reaches
of the kingdom taking thousands of photographs along the way.
Hejnar's interest lay not in Thailand's bars, beaches and other
tourist attractions, but in its stunning range of indigenous art,
icons and architecture which lies, hidden in plain sight, just
beyond the beaten path. From religious folk-paintings to infernal
torture sculptures, from half-buried gods in temple cave complexes
to the spectral dolls who beckon from derelict spirit houses,
Hejnar has captured a revelatory world of the marvelous and the
monstrous, showing how Thailand's religions, myths and art are
inextricably bound together. SECRET SIAM presents over 300 of
Hejnar's rich photographic images, reproduced in full size and
full-colour throughout, accompanied by a series of concise
explanatory texts. It stands as a unique visual introduction to one
of the world's most fascinating and yet seldom explored artistic
cultures.
