This project speculates on the gentrification process around the Charoen Krung district. To carry this out, a process-based installation was assembled in the main gallery of BACC as an experimental space. During the three-month exhibition period, new photographs documenting the neighborhood were hung in the space picture by picture until the provided structure was covered entirely. Simultaneously, ongoing installation activity was documented as an archive and posted on the wall behind the installation. Each photograph had the word ‘Today’ written at its bottom. The installation was deconstructed by the artist as a part of the performance one day before the exhibition ended. What remained were a few photographs that bore witness to their own existence. Through the process of installing and deinstalling the scaffolding structure, the transformation of the space manifests the ever-changing neighborhood driven by the creative force itself.
