69 days Apart and the Past 10 Years
Our Beloved Country, Trairat Harntaweesompone, 2:23, 2024
This project is about the political issue that occurs in my country. There were 13 military coups in my country during the past 90th years of democracy in Thailand and the first 2 military coups were only two months apart from each other. Thus, the most problematic thing about politics in my country is we have a corrupted government and then people are going on protest, then a military coup takes over the government and then they become a corrupted government and the cycle repeats. This is why this piece of work was created as a video piece to a loop to represent this endless cycle.
69 days Apart and the Past 10 Years, Trairat Harntaweesompone, 2024
These posters are dedicated to the faces of leaders of each military coup along with the dates of each military coup execution. The first and second military coup in Thai history is only 69 days apart. Moreover, there are twice that the prime minister is the leader of a military coup that took over their own government party. There have been 13 military coups in Thailand for the past 91 years and the last one happened 10 years ago the military governmental party was in power for almost 10 years without conducting any election.
