DAY 15:
KING OF THAILAND
(1/8)
Day 15: News reach us that The King of Thailand have fled the complaints of his Kingdom to spend his isolation together with 20 concubines at the Grand Hotel Sonnenbichl in the Bavarian alps.
What are they doing right now?
Is it one at the time, or all at once all the time?
Why 20?
Couldn’t he share a few?
And what do they do all day, apart from the obvious?
The series charting the lockdown adventures of The King of Thailand and his 20 concubines became a returning feature of my Windows Book, in which I made daily drawings and observations throughout the first lockdown. I therefore saw it fitting to send them off to its new owner in a box made out of its gutted cover. Seems so long ago now - pandemic innocence. I wonder what he might be doing now, and if he demanded a fresh batch to cope with the pressures of his Bavarian hilltop reign.
