"Ghost" is a tri-annual video and performance art series in Bangkok initiated by artist Korakrit Arunanondchai (b. 1986, Bangkok) in 2018. The forthcoming and final edition will be presented in the fall of 2025. For MAM Screen, curators of two editions - Arunanondchai of the first edition (Ghost:2561, 2018), and Christina Li of the second edition (Ghost 2565: Live without Dead Time, 2022) - have put together a special screening program with artists of the two editions as well as new voices that showcase the different ways stories and memories are inscribed onto and articulated through bodies.
Haig Aivazian (b. 1980, Beirut) uses artificial lighting as a motif to depict the various forms of light and darkness that technology has created; Riar Rizaldi (b. 1990, Indonesia) depicts the psychic experiences of two employees at a global tech company. Tosh Basco (b.1988, USA), who explores the physicality of the body in the modern age, and Chantana Tiprachart (b. 1991, Thailand), who depicts a disappearing ritual related to the Thai water god “Naga” (the serpent).
The program explores modes of corporeal resistance through the lens of technology and progress in an Asian cosmopolitan city like Tokyo that plays host to human and non-human dwellers. Staged in a place where global capital and desire for progress come together all the while profoundly entangled with tradition, "Ghost - Intervention" uncovers how tangible and intangible forces have and will continue to shape the world.
