Solarium

Produced for the Thailand Biennale in Chiang Rai, "Solarium" draws inspiration from the 1981 horror film "The Sunken-Eyed Ghost" by Thai director Komarachun. This film creates a space where the audience experiences the protagonist's journey through darkness and perception.

The work pays homage to early experimental cinema, referencing the light experiments of Hans Richter, Marcel Duchamp, and Fernand Léger. It engages with themes of loss and identity, inviting viewers to step into the ghost's world. This interaction between light and dark emphasizes the ghost's search for his torn-out eyes, creating a visceral experience.

As a contemporary piece, "Solarium" appeals to collectors interested in experimental films and installations. Its roots in horror and homage to past cinematic techniques may intrigue those who appreciate the evolution of film and art.
