Kawita Vatanajyankur investigates the condition and obligations of women in contemporary society, by videos with strong performances of female bodies engaged in difficult balancing acts. Anon Pairot looks deeper into the meaning of everyday objects, with the parody full size model Changrai Ferrari car, made out of rattan by skilled Thai craftsmen, or with the iconic rendering of rice sacks from his family memories. Invisible Designs Lab. plays with matter and sound creating an extraordinary living sculpture, Kwangho Lee matches materials and forms in unusual puzzling objects, and Gabriel Lichauco creates an outdoor Magazines Lounge taking inspiration from street markets culture.
