Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This contemporary art installation features a captivating visual display. The composition is dominated by a series of large-scale projections, creating an immersive environment. The colors are muted, with a predominance of blacks, whites, and grays, accentuating the moody, contemplative atmosphere. The subject matter appears to depict abstract architectural structures, with the occasional burst of light or explosion-like elements, evoking a sense of destruction and reconstruction. The artist's distinctive technique combines video projections, intricate steel frameworks, and minimal lighting, resulting in a powerful, disorienting experience that invites the viewer to reflect on themes of urban decay, renewal, and the fragility of human constructions. The context suggests an exploration of the relationships between the built environment, technology, and the human experience. ...

Saroot Supasuthivech

Saroot Supasuthivech adopts a diverse research methodology, reenvisioning various locales by intertwining timelines and viewpoints. He constructs a holistic sensory experience, often integrating installation, visual imagery, and sound to evoke the intangible essence of a socio-historical setting. His examination extends beyond geographical and political information, encompassing how specific locations are represented and remembered in memory and discourse. Responding to both popular and official narratives, Supasuthivech critically assesses the distortion of historical records and the fragmentation of shared identity. Ritual emerges as a key thematic within Supasuthivech's work, as he continues to evaluate the decreasing relevance or popularity of ancient traditions in contemporary society. The concept of reassembly permeates not only thematically but also aesthetically and experientially within Supasuthivech's work. The use of moving image in his practice transcends conventional aesthetic or documentary roles. These reconfigured spaces created by his work appear mysterious, seemingly unearthed like marginalized oral histories and submerged memories, presenting an ethereal revelation. ...
