Taking the Bangkok’s Taxi Gallery concept on the road for the first time, Another Day in Sydney responded to Sydney as a multicultural city of immigrants where cab drivers come from countries across the planet. Navin Rawanchaikul collaborated with film-writer peer Teerawut Chareonvicha documenting numerous interviews with such drivers, producing the first comic book under Navin Production. Based on a day in the life and their experiences, during the biennale period the project invited “ABC” company cabbies to distribute comics during show. At the waterfront pier gallery space, an actual ABC taxi cab was parked and filled with free copies of the Another Day in Sydney comic, with visitors sitting in the taxi’s front seats listening to the interview recordings. Creating a social environment, the installation also included dinky, custom made taxi stalls for visitors to sit on and soak up the ambience.
