Bangkok Post – Plight of invisible migrants made visual in ‘Phantoms And Aliens’
The general ignorance towards discrimination and alienation in our society is the subject matter for an exhibition titled “Phantoms And Aliens | The Invisible Other (Chapter 1)” which is being held at Richard Koh Projects until March 28.
The exhibition features documentaries, photography, oral history, paintings, mixed-media works, and video installations by Thai female artist Ampannee Satoh which explore another subtler dimension of invisibility alongside otherworldly beings — the social invisibility of discrimination and alienation.
A highlight of the exhibition is Without Lightness, a video installation from Ampannee’s Lost Motherland series, which was shot while she was on board a fisherman’s boat on a routine fishing trip at night along the shores of Pattani where many Rohingya seek refuge from war-torn Myanmar.
