About 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.
