A Conversation with the Sun (Afterimage) is a new video installation created for the MCA by Bangkok-born filmmaker and visual artist Apichatpong Weerasethakul, who is known for a mesmeric visual language characterised by long takes and static images.
Considering light and its transitory nature, the work was made in collaboration with
Rueangrith Suntisuk and Pornpan Arayaveerasid of Bangkok-based collective DuckUnit. Fragments from video diaries taken by the artists are projected onto a slow-moving length of fabric, acting as both curtain and screen – where surfaces shift and meanings transform.
