This is a photo of myself in the big box, which is a part of the installation INNER REALITIES. There is a projector on the ceiling of the box. It projects some colorful video graphics onto the floor of the box. The colorful light from the projection reflects on the audience and the four walls of the box creating a wonderful experience like in the house of mirrors in an amusement park.

Talking about my own reflections, I also like the installation WHERE AM I AM ? (2011, Suwasan Chenvitit, A+++++++++++++++), which is shown in the exhibition CMD DEGREE SHOW in March 2011. If I remember it correctly, this installation places some mirrors and lights in a dark corner. When I walked near it, my presence created multiple dark reflections in the mirrors. It looks really amazing. It's like I nearly stepped into the realm of the dark shadows of Philippe Grandrieux or David Lynch or something like that, though that's not the intention of the installation artist.

As for LOAD: OVERLOAD, apart from the video installations listed above, I also like the installation EM-PA-TEA (Thiencharas Wongpisetkul, A++++++++++).

I’m glad you like MALDOROR. I agree with you that the glowworm looks like a refugee from David Lynch’s film. Hahaha. I couldn’t follow the story of LA FIN DE NOTRE AMOUR in the first viewing. Maybe I should give it a second chance. I like that the female character in this film has a blank black face. It gives such a weird feeling.

This is my reply to Matthew Hunt in my blog:
http://celinejulie.blogspot.com/2008/02/film-wish-list-slow-slidings-of.html

Mat, thank you very much for your information. I wonder if there will be a feminist response to “77 TESTICULAR IMPRINTS”. But I like Rachel Lachowicz’s response to Yves Klein very much. Hahaha.

Nam Jun Paik is a very interesting artist. I first saw his work last year when Thammasat University Library showed his video called GOOD MORNING, MR. ORWELL (1984, A+). This video is a little bit funny and seems to show some interesting aspects about television broadcasting. Many great artists appear in this video, including Laurie Anderson, John Cage and Oingo Boingo.

I just went to see the exhibition ARTSPACE GERMANY at Silpakorn University last weekend. The exhibition includes two works by Nam Jun Paik: “Internet dwellers: jswg.dreizehn.xulf” (1997, video sculpture, A+) and CANDLE TV (1975, object installation, A+). I love CANDLE TV very much. It seems like a sacred object. As for INTERNET DWELLERS, I think the 7-minute video is not very interesting now, but it might be very interesting back in 1997. However, I like the sculpture very much.

ขอให้คุณปราปต์คิดเรื่องราวที่จะนำไปสร้างเป็นหนังเรื่องใหม่ออกเร็วๆนะคะ จะได้มีหนังออกมาให้ดูกันอีก

ดิฉันก็คิดไม่ออกเหมือนกันว่าตัวเองอยากดูหนังเกี่ยวกับการเมืองไทยที่มีเนื้อหาอย่างไรในช่วงนี้ ดิฉันรู้สึกว่าตนเองลดความสนใจที่จะแสดงความคิดเห็นทางการเมืองลงไปมากพอสมควรในระยะนี้ ซึ่งอาจจะเป็นเพราะว่าช่วงนี้ดิฉันกับเพื่อนๆมักจะมีความคิดเห็นค่อนข้างตรงกัน นั่นก็คือ “เกลียดสมัคร” เพราะฉะนั้นในเมื่อคนรอบข้างมีความเห็นตรงกับดิฉัน และคนรอบข้างก็ได้แสดงความคิดเห็นและระบายความรู้สึกเหล่านั้นออกมาแล้ว ดิฉันก็เลยรู้สึกพึงพอใจและก็ไม่รู้สึกว่าตนเองต้องแสดงความเห็นซ้ำกับคนอื่นๆอีก และก็รู้สึกว่าตนเองใจเย็นลงเยอะในช่วงนี้ ซึ่งความรู้สึกแบบนี้ตรงข้ามกับในปี 2007 เพราะในปีนั้นมีหลายๆคนรอบข้างดิฉันที่ชื่นชอบคมช. แต่ดิฉันไม่ค่อยเห็นด้วยกับพวกเขาสักเท่าไหร่ การต้องตกอยู่ในสถานการณ์แบบนั้นก็เลยทำให้ดิฉันรู้สึกอึดอัดคับข้องใจและใจร้อน และเหมือนเป็นแรงกระตุ้นให้ดิฉันสนใจในเรื่องการเมืองมากยิ่งขึ้น
