Influx, 2023

Screening Program with Rapid Eye Movement at Doc Club & Pub, Bangkok

​​

In Influx, the cinema and its adjoining waiting area merge into a single continuous space. The doors between them remain open, with videos playing both inside the theatre and on the lounge monitors. The light is exchanged, brightness filling the theatre and darkness settling over the waiting area.

​

Two works inhabit this setting. In Faucet (2023), shown inside the theatre, a mattress leans against a wall in an abandoned building, untouched for more than twenty years. The image holds its stillness as the sound of a faucet being turned back on enters the space. In di (2019), presented on two lounge monitors outside the theatre, two fragments of found footage follow insects moving across opposite hands. The sequence unfolds in imperfect symmetry, with the audio of one shot spilling into the next through an L-cut, evoking the sensation of touch in image.
