Apichatpong Weerasethakul
“Apichatpong Weerasethakul: Ghosts in the Darkness” will commemorate Tokyo Photographic Art Museum’s 20th anniversary. Throughout his career, Weerasethakul has produced serene, lyrical films set in northeast Thailand that draw on myth and folklore, his personal memories of the forests, his dreams, and other material. The key word in the exhibition title is “ghosts,” referring to the invisible beings that feature significantly in Weerasethakul’s oeuvre. By focusing on this motif, the exhibition explores social and political aspects of the works that have rarely been addressed explicitly before. The exhibition will also examine the various aesthetic dimensions of the medium of moving image itself, presenting Weerasethakul’s alluring works alongside several works from the museum’s collection.
