UNDER THE WIRE.

Look up almost anywhere in Bangkok and you'll find it: great, sagging tangles of cable strung pole to pole above the streets - an estimated 2,450 kilometres of power, phone and internet lines, many of them long dead, knotted into one of the most famously wired skylines in the world. For decades it has been as much a part of Bangkok's look as the tuk-tuks and temples below it, a messy, improvised record of a city that grew faster than anyone planned for.

Whole neighbourhoods live under the wire. It casts its scribbly shadows across everything, and in some streets it's so dense you can only just make out the sky through it. Life simply carries on underneath. For many, the sky has always looked this way.

Now it's finally starting to disappear. After decades of false starts, teams of men on bamboo ladders are cutting the dead lines above the streets and burying the rest, with more than 300 kilometres of cable set to go underground by 2032. Under the Wire is a record of these tangles before they're gone - strange, chaotic and oddly beautiful, the kind of everyday chaos you only notice once it's about to vanish.
