Metamorphosis

2014. Sound, video clips, texts, photographs, objects and movie posters

Dimensions variable

'Metamorphosis' is a series of multi-media installation resulting in many people's participation. A piano melody was recomposed

from parts of selected propaganda songs which were then passed to others to listen to. These people were then asked for their

feedback and first impressions, which created this set of multi-media installation, featuring sound, video clips, photographs,

texts, objects, and movie posters. All of the 8 selected songs had a march-song rhythm style, which has been used bt the state

and establishment institutions during conflicts or wars; interestingly, most of the feedback received was of a positive nature.

The set of this work is reflecting Arnont and Piyarat's art practices and their opening of new space and their collaboration with

others.
