A Conversation with the Sun

Apichatpong Weerasethakul’s new exhibition A Conversation with the Sun (บทสนทนากับดวงอาทิตย์) opened in Bangkok on 28th May. The centrepiece is a two-channel video installation, with a smaller image projected onto the center of another. The footage, which the gallery calls “a personal memory archive,” was filmed by Apichatpong over the course of several years. A white scrim on motorised rails glides slowly up to and away from the screen, partially obscuring the image.

A Conversation with the Sun continues until 10th July at CityCity Gallery, and Apichatpong is developing a virtual reality version for next year’s Thailand Biennale in Chiang Rai. The Biennale will run from 9th December 2023 to 30th April 2024, with VR screenings of A Conversation with the Sun from 25th to 29th January 2024.
