Araya Rasdjarmrearnsook, <The Class I>

Single-channel video, 16min 32sec, 2005

  • Araya Rasdjarmrearnsook has been exploring realms that, while seemingly opposing, are intricately intertwined, such as life and death, and the human and non-human.

  • Her work is significantly influenced by the experience of losing her mother at a young age, which has led her to question the meaning of death over many years.

  • Her projects include reading the Thai epic 'Inaow,' which deals with themes of love and desire, to deceased women, and conducting numerous seminars on death alongside various bodies laid on the floor.

  • For her, death is not merely a negative, a loss, or the end of the world, as conventionally perceived.

  • Interested in transforming the concept of death into `a feather in the wind` through her art, she views it as closer to a state or part of a greater cycle.
