PhotopsiaBy Nat Setthana
Curated by Suphon Niamkamnoet
19.12.2024 - 6.4.2025
At 100 Tonson Foundation
? Opening Reception: Thursday 19th December 2024, 5pm - 9pm.
100 Tonson Foundation is thrilled to introduce ?????????, an exhibition by young Thai visual artist Nat Setthana, curated by Suphon Niamkamnoet. Selected from over 30 proposals submitted to the Foundation's second Open Call for Art Projects earlier this year, this site-specific installation will run from 19 December 2024 to 6 April 2025. Set within the Foundation’s distinctive space, originally conceived by renowned French designer Christian Liaigre, ????????? reimagines the gallery as a dynamic, interactive environment. The installation offers visitors a set of visual spectacles that challenge the eye’s perception, prompting a sense of visual absurdity.
????????? features installations connected by the concept of projection, derived from the artist's photographic practice. In a dark room, a pre-recorded image of the outside view slowly emerges on a sealed window, creating a haunting illusion of presence and absence. In a white space, light projected onto quartz crystals transforms the space, where light, movement, and the visitor's presence are a part of the image-making process. Exploring photographic abstraction's relationship with time and space, the exhibition challenges the idea of individual perception and reconstructs images as intangible possibilities rather than predefined objects.
In addition to Setthana’s installations, ????????? will also incorporate a series of public programs throughout the four-month duration of the exhibition, intended to enrich the visitor experience. These programs include an artist’s talk, curated screenings, and a live performance. As part of the lineup, we are excited to present ?????????: ???? ???? ??? ????? ????, ?????? ??????, ??? ???????????? ????? ?????. Scheduled for mid-February 2025, this initiative invites emerging artists, filmmakers, and creatives to submit their video art, moving images, and experimental works for inclusion, offering a platform to engage with experimental approaches to visual dialogue that echo with the exhibition’s themes of light, images, and the ephemeral qualities of space and time.
