Afterlives

2025, Video installation Exhibition: Ghost2568: Wish We Were Here, Bangkok, Oct 15 - Nov 16 2025

Afterlives, 2025, video installation, 20.48 min

Afterlives imagines a post-tropical future where light carries memory, where it bends and fractures, holding histories too delicate to survive unspoken. On an iodine planet, a dream engineer summons visions of her grandfather’s struggle against Isaan’s cruel weather, the migrations it forced, the lives it scattered. And in this luminous archive, Ongkan Chaeng Nam [ลิลิตโองการแช่งน้ํา], once a royal curse, resurfaces as the voice of ordinary people, threading together trauma and hope, myth and memory, until the past becomes a living cinema.

Prophecy, 2025, video installation, 3 min

On the night of the eclipse, Nang Phom Hom combs her hair in slow ritual. Her eyes close as a faint radiance escapes her body, carrying her into trance. She sings, not with music, but with memory, bearing witness to endless monsoons, wars, and prophecies. To resist, or to release, drifting with the storm of dreams. “Tropics” is unknown. “Tropics” is the future.
