Songs for Dying 2021

1

Korakrit Arunanondchai’s new piece, Songs for Dying, composed of tropes and ideas from his “living archive,” combines the personal experience of accepting death and the perception of history with religious, technological, and political narratives. Footage of his grandfather’s funeral is followed by archival records of the popular uprising on South Korean Jeju Island, current student protests in Thailand, and references to pop culture. Using the metaphor of the ghost, central to this piece, the artist questions the linear perception of time and seeks to show how the past pulsates in the present. In his worldview, nature, people, and spirits are intertwined into a homogenous whole, forming a living and diverse reality.

In the last couple of years, thousands of illegal Thai migrant workers in South Korea are deported back to Thailand, while thousands more slipped through the borders to take up both legal and illegal jobs. Calling themselves ‘ghosts’, they left their homeland for a foreign country whose language they cannot speak, work towards an uncertain future, and hide like phantoms to evade the authorities. The film observes the situation of these workers, as well as visits the other generation of Thai migrant worker in South Korea, an 80 year-old Thai veteran who once fought a Korean war.

"Though the Mountains Divide, and the Oceans are Wide" is a short video essay on the interrelation between childhood encounters and current realities through a personal story of the artist - Belle Phromchanya - who has moved from Thailand to the Netherlands in her adulthood. The video compiles home video footage of family trips during the 1990s taken by her father, along with video materials of a senior Thai artist living in Amsterdam taken by Phromchanya herself. The senior artist, who is around the same age as her father, has been a subject of Phromchanya's work until his sudden passing in 2020. By layering these early years' memories with the struggles of dealing with the uncertainty of daily life, the video shares attempts of capturing the temporarily of the moment - and both beauty and unsettling experience of being elsewhere.

Forrest Gump said you never know what you’re going to get from life’s box of chocolates. Narcissistic, spot-on selfie media satire ‘Follow’, starring accomplished little kids who want to be stars, looks and tastes like a bowl of rainbow candy. But they are laced with something sharp. Perhaps even a razor blade, embedded in the chocolate bar of urban Hallowe’en legend. This is no Thai ‘Bugsy Malone’. These are not kids in Big People drag. They are themselves. One wishes in fact that they were not so natural; that the film weren’t so realistic. “Evie, why don’t you do your homework?” – “I’m busy with my business,” says the worldly little girl. What business? “The movie star business of course,” is her barely exasperated reply. In Thai, or rather Tinglish, that’s “Turakij Movie Star”, and I’m so sorry if you can’t speak Thai, because they can’t afford English subtitles.
