Space-Body Entanglement is a programme of contemporary artists' film and video from Thailand, selected and presented by Bangkok-based curator Mary Pansanga. It features work by Jeanne Penjan Lassus, Pam Virada, Saroot Supasuthivech, Tulapop Saenjaroen, Korakrit Arunanondchai & Alex Gvojic (with Tosh Basco), and Pathompon Mont Tesprateep.
Space-Body Entanglement explores the interplay between the body and the spatial environment. Throughout the programme the physical and transcendental aspects of the depicted body interact within various landscapes, offering an exploration of spatiality, including that of the cinema screen itself. Encompassing an array of diverse forms and interpretations, these works explore deafness, supernatural visitations, Cold War histories, images of depression and Thai animation history.
