Orbiting Body Orbiting Body

#InsomniaInExhibition "Orbiting Body | The Orbiting Body" opens up an experience through the movement path of the artwork through the works of 5 Thai artists: Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Araya Ratsadajareon Suk, Prachaya Pinthong, Sathit Satsart, and Sorawit Songsat / Curator by Mary Pansanga . Because 'images' are like creating something seen again, a new state of seeing and connecting dimensions that cross over between what is in front of us at present and what has passed. The method of creating images is created with methods that change according to the evolution of technology. . The 5 artists present and use 'images' to create a path of perception that reflects the distance, both the distance that is the subject of the content and the physical distance that occurs between the viewer and the artwork. To stimulate both the movement in terms of thought, feeling, and the movement that is related to the body and the work in the exhibition space. - Apichatpong Weerasethakul - The work "Design in Mind" brings the background of the filmmaking process, the experience and memories of watching a theater performance into part of the storytelling, using the screen and curtains to create dimensions and stimulate imagination. We will see 3 landscape paintings by 2 artists printed on the continuously moving curtains. The viewer can adjust the distance to walk and create a relationship with the curtains that change with the light and time. - Sathit Sastrasart - The work "Shut Your Eyes, and You Will Burst Into Flames" (2567) was inspired by the construction process of the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre in 2549-2550. Through the photographs showing the assembly of light bulbs like sculptures, the artist plays with the viewer's perception and image creation, which can be reborn indefinitely. In addition, the artist has created a new work "I Think Table, and I Say Chair" (2567) that floats to create a focal point for the main work. Reflecting on issues of seeing and perception. - Araya Ratsadonjareonsukh - The video installation "Two Stars" (2008) presents a group of rural Thai farmers sitting in front of landscape paintings by 19th-century artists such as Jean-François Millet, Édouard Manet and Vincent van Gogh. They contemplate and analyze the images with fun, through their experiences and personal information. The artist records their conversations and presents them through translations of the dialogues, with sounds that create an atmosphere of social interaction. - Parinya Pinthong presents the slide film work "If I dig a very deep hole", which inserts the image of two moons embedded in the wall through the slide film between acrylic sheets. The artist starts by finding the geographical opposite location from Paris and travels to photograph the full moon on Chatham Island, New Zealand, before returning to Paris to photograph the full moon again. This work reflects two places, two experiences and two moments, linked through photography and travel. - Sorawit Songsat presents the digital animation "Mnemosyne" (2022), using the photogrammetry technique. In creating a 3D map of places such as Ōtepoti Dunedin in New Zealand and the artist’s home in Chiang Rai, both places are created and merged into a new 3D environment where memory, distance and territory become abstracted and re-realized. The path in the exhibition is created through installations, videos, photographs and sculptures that are installed quite separately, which is different from general exhibitions, giving us a different viewing experience, which is in line with the exhibition’s objective of giving us time to reflect on the process of seeing through the path of movement, reading and interpretation, reaction and interaction.
