Montika Kham-on (Samut prakan, Thailand) is Video Artist and Filmmaker. She explores collective fear, unconventional futures no dictated by major institutions, but by the nuanced struggles of outcast identities.
Kham-on is also interested in fields that work with the body, from theatre to dance. She strives to incorporate said fields with moving images to grapple with what is beyond the boundaries of language.
