it is the year 2542 BE - in bangkok the streets are flooded with people 543 years in advance of the western world but only 7 hours ahead of GMT - in the meantime football grips the nation & entropy invades every available thanon & soi art flourishes in the city moving slowly north towards this exhibition of student works the highlight of which is a collection of flower pots - the artist encourages me to take one but fearful of customs & strange looks i decline thinking who knows what strange plant might emerge from this soil & what colour flower bloom?
