128 years ago, a ship docked, not only with cargo, but with a flicker. A new magic. The moving image arrived in Siam before we had the words to name it. Yet even then, we recognized its ghost.

Long before the invention of cinema as the world knows it, we had already been playing with light.

Shadows danced on stretched animal skin. Firelight breathed life into silhouettes. Stories trembled across surfaces, not merely told, but conjured. Fables were not fictions, but inheritances, passed from hand to hand, from eye to eye.

Here, cinema was never only about projection. It was a ritual, a shared pulse of image and performance, body and flame. It was how we gathered, how we remembered, how we stayed present.

Today, when the screen is often a portal of distraction, Ritual Cinema asks: what might ritual mean now? Can a cinematic act still call us into collective attention, into feeling, into belief?

This work proposes cinema not as spectacle, but as ceremony. A porous form, resisting the flattening of time and the endless consumption of image. It invites us to return, not to the past, but to a deeper rhythm of seeing and being seen. To inhabit cinema as a living gesture. As presence. As a remembering.
