A MINOR HISTORY

Until February 27, 2022

The 100 Tonson Foundation is presenting a six-month-long, two-part exhibition of video installations and photography by celebrated Thai filmmaker Apichatpong Weerasethakul (who was recently awarded a Jury Prize at this year’s Cannes Film Festival for his film

Memoria). Entitled ‘A Minor History’, this exhibit continues the artist’s cinematic narrative of Isaan, the northeastern region of Thailand where he was raised and where many of his feature films have been set. In ‘A Minor History: Part One’, which is scheduled to run for the first three months of the show, the artist creates a kind of poem that drifts between the space of reality and dream. By combining a style of dubbed movies and radio dramas (as pictured), he reflects on the remnants of memories and beliefs, and how storytelling – the traditional type as well as modern propaganda – shapes both personal identity and our society.
