‘Sacred Ink’ is a photographic and multimedia installation exhibition by Cedric Arnold.
‘Sacred Ink’ features over 45 large format black-and-white photographs taken in Thailand, as well as sound, video and multimedia projections. It explores this unique subculture, its rituals, symbols and people.
Known in Thai as “Sak Yant”, the tattoos are a testament to the complex spiritual makeup of Thai society, incorporating elements of Buddhism, Animism, Brahmanism and Hinduism.
