Korakrit Arunanondchai

During his two-year residency at the Neiman Center, Korakrit Arunanondchai, a video and multimedia artist raised in Bangkok, Thailand, produced three editioned works related to a series of large-scale video installations he made during 2014-2017, which combine references to history, socio-political issues, pop culture and dystopian fantasy. The vibrant hues and abstract motifs of There’s a word I’m trying to remember, for a feeling I’m about to have (a distracted path towards extinction) is enhanced with collaged fake fur and bleached denim, materials incorporated in both Arunanondchai’s video installations and subsequent paintings from 2020.
