Queensway Television is pleased to present by artist and filmmaker Taiki Sakpisit. The artist resculpted materials collected across several trips to Northeastern Thailand in 2022, drawing from familiar sights to create a fresh new journey into another realm.
Comprising of scenes captured from various sites, the work presents itself as a reflection of reality as we understand in different ways. From the holy well of Kham Chanot, the ancient cave Tham Phaya Nak, drawings on temple walls, recorded television footages, a slaughterhouse and a spirit medium in trance, the artist weaved together motifs and moments that seemingly bridge our world to the next.

Through the lens of cinema, Sakpisit unpacks the nation’s turbulent past, infusing his experimental films with a subtle yet resounding political commitment.
