‘Monumentality’, ‘Local Sensations’, ‘swing low’ Just before Songkran 2025, I received a message from Tulapop Saenjaroen, inviting me to perform in his new experimental film. The only concept he revealed to me was that it would deal with ‘monumentality’ in an ambiguous connection to the local context. At that time, I happened to be interested in creating a sound installation/sculpture, so I pitched him an idea to perform with this. The atmosphere back then in Thailand was overshadowed by news of building collapses and earthquakes. So, I began to work by observing those situations from afar, taking notes, weaving ideas together with my main interests in feedback and randomness. This led to sketches that incorporated objects, a chaotic pendulum mechanism, microphones, and speakers. Later, thanks to Mo, who coordinated with Ton and the Roundmade Studio team, the work was assembled with great professionalism. By late May, we started filming. It was my first time working with 16mm black-and-white film. P’Nan helped with cinematography, joined by the team: Pleum, Mark, P’Yui, and many others, shooting together in a sweltering location. The difficulty of shooting on film was that I had to improvise long takes in a single go. Some pieces were especially challenging, as we had to record acoustic instruments, including Burma dobro and Tena (Pw aka Nyaw folk instrument), which I chose for their sound and representation that aligned with the work. The crew was amazing at keeping everything smooth and complete. In the period before the film screening, I asked Doc to take some still photos, with Rin and Yim as assistants. It was great fun, and I was grateful to have everyone’s support throughout. At the Silpa Bhirasri Creative Grants opening, I reduced elements of the main work into a smaller version: placing objects inside a glass bowl, playing with them together with a lap steel guitar, using the same pair of speakers. Everything was placed close together, letting feedback emerge, staying to the original concept. #sonicart #soundinstallation #soundsculpture

Reminding you about out special event this Friday night! For the first time at PoA White Box, Bari and Ham meet in a shared state of listening. Ham speaks through strings and sound, Bari through the body as instrument. In this live improvisation, music leans toward dance, dance dissolves into music, a continuous exchange of breath, movement, and resonance. Book tickets now for the best price: /events/bari-kim-meets-ham-tanid Bari Kim is a dance artist and improviser based between Jeju and Seoul. Her work explores listening, time and space, embodied nature, and the dialogue between dance and music. Performing internationally across Asia and Europe, she moves between dance and voice, solo and collaboration. She received the Best Dance Award 2020 from the Korean Dance Critics Association. She founded the improvisational performance group Improad Badak in 2008 and is an active member of interdisciplinary and experimental projects including BARINAMO, SHINBI BAND, and Windstone.

Ham Tanid is an electro-acoustic artist, guitarist, and composer whose practice connects improvisation with traditional music and Buddhist philosophy.

His recognisable works include RhizomE x Ju Ju (Best Asian Creative Artist, GIMA 2023) and a work presentation at Ars Electronica Forum Wallis 2025. A performance of deep listening, where sound becomes movement, and movement becomes sound. Tickets: 300 THB (online) 400 THB (at door)
