From now to 10 March 2010/ 11:00 until 01:00 hrs daily At Face Bangkok Restaurant, 29 Sukhumvit Road Soi 38

 THE EXHIBITION
The Urban Lines photographic exhibition features a series of photos entitled Urban Lines, a project shot solely by Bangkok-based photographer, Marc Schultz.

The Urban Lines project is a collection of unique photographs captured in Bangkok which exhibit elements of a developing Asian city in transition.

These retrospective pictures portray details of a growing urban landscape in which industrializing interests struggle to modernize, resulting in a sacrifice of some of the city's intrinsic beauty from its past.

In the face of this evolution, these images portray vignettes of life from within the few original enclaves of the city that still remain and provide a glimpse into the historical character of Bangkok as an evolving mecca.

In capturing these images, every shot was taken hand-held using a fisheye lens and in only available light. The distorted angles created by the optics produce a unique perspective for the viewer, designed to add to the visual appeal of the imagery.
