About the book
Bangkok: Call Waiting emerged from Day's on-going interest in the wreckage of the city's (rapidly disappearing) public phone booths to encompass a fascination with the wider nocturnal urban complex. Day's intimate yet subtly epic images register traces of the demands that govern our urban existence: postings for job adverts, signs of commercial pleasure, and listings for entertainment spectacles or social advancement opportunities. These sites are also a portal through which to view the vernacular expression of guerrilla creativity and politics.
