“Chat...Naa for Bangkok Art Biennale 2018”
Sound and Video installation,
vibrating camera, rainbow light ball, wooden chamber, speakers, projector.
at Bangkok Art Biennale 2018, Wat-Prayurawongsawas (Temple of the Iron Fence)
This piece Chat...Naa has been newly installed in the temple pavilion (Temple of the Iron Fence) , behind the large Buddha statue. The sculpture features peculiar shapes, lights, and sounds, along with a CCTV camera that occasionally moves under motor control. The video signal is sent to a projector, which displays it on the temple wall.
Rainbow-colored Christmas lights are also used to decorate funerals in Southeast Asia, creating a festive atmosphere alongside the somber occasion. The rainbow lights are projected by the vibrating CCTV camera, producing a trembling black-and-white image in rhythm with the motor.
Additionally, the vibrating sound from the sculpture causes the temple's wooden floor to shake, creating an unpredictable environment as the colorful lights appear before the audience.
