  • Apichatpong Weerasethakul
    UNKNOWN FORCES: APICHATPONG WEERASETHAKUL April 18 – June 17, 2007 hold of and ask what I should do. I am consulting a fortune teller now for what the next film should be. She told me the main character (light skin, wide forehead), the locations (university, sports stadium, empty temple, mountain), and the elements (the moon and the water). RI: The backdrops of much of your work accentuate feelings of aloneness and isolation from others. Films like Tropical Malady (2004) and Worldly Desires (2005) traverse remote recesses of distant, even enchanted jungles. In FAITH (2006), you leave earth entirely in search of greater solitude in outer space. You seem interested in or at least drawn to obscure or enigmatic sites that have been left relatively unexplored, untouched, unimagined… AW: That’s what I got from the movies. When you are in a dark theater, your mind drifts and travels. In my hometown when I was growing up, there was nothing. The movie theater was a sanctuary where I was mostly addicted to spectacular and disaster films. Now, as a filmmaker, I am trying to search for similar feelings of wonder, of dreams. It’s quite a personal and isolated experience. Tropical Malady is more about a journey into one’s mind rather than Apichatpong Weerasethakul a real jungle. Or sometimes it is a feeling of “watching” movies. RI: Can you speak about your use of old tales and mythologies in your work? What significance do they hold for you? AW: It’s in the air. Thailand’s atmosphere is unique. It might be hard to understand for foreigners.

In Thai cinema, nature is often depicted as an opposition to the urban sphere, forming a contrast in ethical terms. This dualism is a recurring and central theme in Thai representations and an impor- tant carrier of Thainess (khwam pen Thai).

What were revered classics for one generation of filmgoers slip into oblivion for the next, the result of everything from changes in taste to trends in the economics of theatrical and non-theatrical distribution to the withering of repertory cinema -- conditions all symbiotically linked to a host of other factors as well.

  • Apichatpong Weerasethakul Regis Dialogue Formatted
    Apichatpong Weerasethakul Regis Dialogue with Chuck Stephens, 2004 Chuck Stephens: Thanks very much for coming out tonight, everyone. Joe: Thank you for the weekend. Weekend coming. Let me take off my jacket. Chuck Stephens: We're just a bit curious for starters, if many or most of you have seen one or some of Joe's films in the series so far. Could we just have a kind of a show of hands, of most of you have seen one or more of the films? Okay, great. Great. For those of you who haven't, or who've only seen one, we'll be talking generally about Thai cinema, what's going on in Thai film today, and what the place of Joe's films is in contemporary Thai cinema and also a little bit about historically what Thai cinema has been, and why Thai cinema is such a new thing to most of the world. And why Thai cinema even in Thailand seems so new at the moment. Chuck Stephens: Maybe though we should start, because Thailand, well Thai food is very well known, particularly in the US. Thailand itself and many aspects of Thai culture are not particularly known worldwide. About four years ago, as I was getting ready to move to Bangkok, I went to dinner with some friends, and I happened to mention that my wife was Thai. And one of the people at dinner said, "Wow, does she live in Taiwan?" So- Joe: I have the same experience here. Chuck Stephens: So it might be helpful to start out saying a little bit about, just for starters, where Thailand is, and also something on the order of what Thailand is, what Thailand, where is Thailand geographically and what is Thailand historically, and what is Thailand today? Joe: Well, it's one of the South East Asian country's, and we are surrounded by a lot of neighbors, Laos, China, Cambodia and Malaysia in the South.

  • “Apichatpong Weerasethakul: the Serenity of Madness” Makes North American Debut at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago
    SEPTEMBER 5, 2017 Contact: Bree Witt 312.499.4211 [email protected] “APICHATPONG WEERASETHAKUL: THE SERENITY OF MADNESS” MAKES NORTH AMERICAN DEBUT AT THE SCHOOL OF THE ART INSTITUTE OF CHICAGO The renowned filmmaker and SAIC alum takes on economic disparity, government-sponsored censorship and marginalization through rarely seen short films, photography, archival materials and video installations CHICAGO–The School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC), a global leader in art and design education, announces the North American debut of Apichatpong Weerasethakul’s exhibition “The Serenity of Madness.” Exploring threads of sociopolitical commentary, this new solo exhibition uniquely presents rarely seen short films and video installations by the Thai artist, alongside his photography, sketches and archival materials. A leading figure in contemporary film and art, Weerasethakul’s (SAIC MFA 1998, HON 2011) work reveals stories often excluded in history in and out of Thailand: voices of the poor and the ill, marginalized beings and those silenced and censored for personal and political reasons. Weerasethakul has developed a singular realist-surrealist style in which he portrays the everyday alongside supernatural elements suggesting a distortion between fact and folklore, the subconscious and the exposed and various disparities of power. “Art fosters more platforms for different voices, and it is important to be aware of the world’s narratives,” said Apichatpong Weerasethakul. “Sometimes just simply being aware can be a powerful tool, and that’s why I’m humbled to present my work at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, a place which exposed me to aspects of film and world views that had an enduring impact on my career.” “Apichatpong Weerasethakul: The Serenity of Madness” is a traveling exhibition curated by SAIC alum Gridthiya Gaweewong (MA 1996) and produced by Independent Curators International (ICI), New York.
