In the middle of its pages, the original magazine had the particularity of presenting images of pin-ups in relief or on tracing paper that the reader could undress. Using his vast arsenal of post-modern tools, Doan na Champassak transforms the original content of these magazines with his own images, creating a hypnotic back-and-forth between then and now; clothed - naked; Bangkok - Paris; thus reflecting, from a unique point of view, the politics of the female body and its photographic representation over the last decades.
