Bangkok - city of ten million people, three million vehichles and anestimated four hundred and fifty new vehicles on the road every day. The automobile reigns supreme, devouring all in his path, clogging the citys once serene arteries, substituting the air we breathe for toxic,cancer-inducing gases and dictating the pace of life through auto fetishists and car-cult junkies, trapped in one-sided love-affairs with their BENZine-burning techno-status-symbols and destined to die behind the wheels of their steel-boxedsuitors, vital fluids amalgamating inpools of oilyred liquid-life under violent impromptu street cultures of dying streams, crushed metal and RIPped flesh, eerily lit by the flashing red seen-it-all-before roof-top eyes of-curb-crawling corpse-collectors van-cum-highway-hyenas, grinning radiators grilles mocking the efforts of rescue workers as they cutthrough satiatedcabins of twisted metal to reach the dead and dying.
