Item Overview

Description

Apichatpong Weerasethakul (b.1970)
Selected Polaroids (Mysterious Object at Noon,
Blissfully Yours, Tropical Malady)
Commissioned for the Serenity of Madness show at MCAD,
Apichatpong Weerasethakul has cultivated a singular
realist-surrealist style that marries elements of the everyday and
the supernatural, juxtaposing fact and folklore, and revealing various
disparities of power relationships. His work reveals stories of those
marginalized and excluded in the larger narratives of history in his
native Thailand: the poor, the ill, and those censored for personal
or political reasons.
His selected polaroid prints offer behind-the-scenes snapshots
taken during the production of his films Mysterious Object at Noon
(2000), Tropical Malady (2002), and Blissfully Yours (2002) and allow
viewers further insight into Weerasethakul’s practice and filmmaking
process. They are to be projected through lightboxes.
