Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork features a visually striking composition, with the nude human body suspended in mid-air, connected to two wicker baskets overflowing with vibrant, yellow bananas. The use of bold, contrasting colors, particularly the vivid pink backdrop, creates a surreal and thought-provoking visual experience. The subject matter explores themes of exploitation, consumerism, and the objectification of the human form, challenging the viewer's perceptions and preconceptions. The artist's distinctive technique, combining the organic human figure with the mundane, everyday objects, reflects a postmodern, conceptual approach to contemporary art, inviting the audience to contemplate the deeper societal implications conveyed through this provocative and visually compelling piece. ...

Kawita Vatanajyankur
B.1988, Thai

In her performative videos Kawita's Vatanajyankur transforms her body into a site upon which issues of labour, feminism, oppression and consumerism are thoroughly interrogated and challenged. Vatanajyankur undertakes various repetitive and strenuous tasks, turning herself into mechanical tools and domestic objects as she pushes her body to its limits as a testament to human capabilities and female resilience. Drawing from a globalized and digitally networked visual language of consumption and instant gratification, her videos bears semblance to bold and colourful commercial advertisements, only breaking away from their similarities within her constantly recurring moments of physical and emotional discomfort; the result is a bodywork that is as strikingly compelling as it is uncomfortable to witness. ...
