mute conversations

2016. Video (12:04 minutes, 16:9, silent), Photographs, dimensions variables

The project "mute conversations" (2016)  was executed and presented in Yokohama, Japan where I spent two months

as an artist at Koganecho Bazaar 2016 Artist-in-Residence Program.

I had done an interview-based fieldwork on Thai community in Wakabacho, Yokohama. Conversations were collected

from Thai people who migrated to Yokohama. Video recordings were then transcribed. Various stories and emotions,

along with other matters such as lives, hopes, dreams, were narrated through messages to each their own. 

These stories were then presented in series of messages projected on walls, building facades, and other locations in

Yokohama’s urban areas where people pass by.
