YONLAPA - Let Me Go
Directed & Edited by Yonlapa Pienpanassak Camera by Fream Tichakorn
The exhibition, presenting the works of Bangkok-raised artist Korakrit Arunanondchai, was co-produced by Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst in Zurich and Kunstverein in Hamburg. While the video installation 'Songs for living' bathes you in blue-toned daylight, the video installation 'Songs for dying' covers you in darkness amidst a room covered with earth. In the middle room you are surrounded by an incredibly large painting that spans three walls showing a gathering of bodies and a giant bird in flames. Music and sound play a big role for the exhibition. As a whole, the experience is very immersive.
Kritsana Chaikitwattana was born in 1977 in Hat Yai, and graduated with a Bachelor Degree from Chulalongkorn University in 1998 and proceeded to attain a Masters Degree from Silapakorn University in 2002. His recent work is concerned with dissonance – that rather disconcerting realm between fact and fiction, reality and illusion, spiritual and secular and lost and found. He does not aim to depict absolutes or ideological positions but rather to explore the places where these attitudes meet. Chaikitwattana has exhibited widely in Thailand since 1998 when his work was included in “The Witches Stuff” curated by the late Montien Boonma. He has also worked and exhibited internationally in Korea, Spain, Taiwan, China (2008, the Olympics) and Singapore.
