MAM Screen 020: Ghost - Intervention

2024.9.25 [Wed] - 2025.1.19 [Sun]

Ghost is a tri-annual video and performance art series in Bangkok initiated by artist Korakrit Arunanondchai (b. 1986 in Bangkok) in 2018. The forthcoming and final edition will be presented in the fall of 2025. For MAM Screen, curators of two editions - Arunanondchai of the first edition (Ghost 2561, 2018), and Christina Li of the second edition (Ghost 2565: Live without dead time, 2022) - have put together a special screening program with artists of the two editions as well as new voices that showcase the different ways stories and memories are inscribed onto and articulated through bodies.

Haig Aivazian (b. 1980 in Beirut) uses artificial lighting as a motif to depict the various forms of light and darkness that technology has created; Riar Rizaldi (b. 1990 in Bandung, Indonesia) depicts the psychic experiences of two employees at a global tech company. Tosh Basco (b.1988 in California), who explores the physicality of the body in the modern age, and Chantana Tiprachart (b. 1991 in Kalasin Province, Thailand), who depicts a disappearing ritual related to the Thai water god “Naga” (the serpent).

The program explores modes of corporeal resistance through the lens of technology and progress in an Asian cosmopolitan city like Tokyo that plays host to human and non-human dwellers. Staged in a place where global capital and desire for progress come together all the while profoundly entangled with tradition, Ghost - Intervention uncovers how tangible and intangible forces have and will continue to shape the world we live in.
