🏡 Homeland (single-channel) will featured in "Asia Forum 1, A Stage in Shift: Nowhere Somewhere" program at 22nd Experimental Film & Video Festival in Seoul (EXiS, @exisfestival ) will taking place from July 24 - 31, 2025 - Curated by Mary Pansanga. Homeland continues to explore the juxtaposition of two worlds. However, in its latest rendition, the work transitions from a multi-channel installation to a single-channel film, shifting from spatial immersion towards a more focused narrative experience. At its core, the piece draws upon the Chinese funerary rite, yet instead of following a conventional path of departure, it contemplates a reverse procession. Where the previous Installation had its 3-Channel enveloped viewers in a wide-open environment—creating a ritualistic space to witness and inhabit—this single-channel format calls for a more directed experience. In this new form, Homeland is less a site-specific ceremony and more an inward journey—one of return, memory, and spiritual resonance. It is a meditation on the space between [1] the seen and the unseen, between tradition and the personal, carried by a language of refined image and poetic soundscape. [1] Past - Present - Future The world of the living - The spirit world Old house - New house Life - Death More info:

Jay (@jayvdotcom ) is a master of both sound and visuals. An audio/visual designer and artist, and one of the founding members of the post-rock band @jpbs.band , whom I had the chance to photograph last year. I first discovered their music at @diage.festival two years ago and was immediately drawn into it. Since then, Jay has launched a solo project under the name Jay V., blending personal storytelling with visuals created in collaboration with @duckunit_ . He performed this piece at DIAGE and again at the Bangkok Experimental Film Festival this year @beff.th , creating music narratives from his family history. For our shoot, Jay invited me to his family home on the other side of the river—a spacious house originally bought by his grandfather, now shared with his parents and siblings. I was struck by how minimal the space was; Jay explained that his mother dislikes clutter and avoids hoarding—something relatively uncommon in Southeast Asia. As we chatted during the session, Jay recounted the early days of JPBS, which he started with a university friend in 2012. He spoke about the challenges of balancing the band’s growing success with the reality of six members juggling full-time jobs, making touring especially difficult. While giving me a tour of the house, Jay pointed out an unusual structure embedded in the ceiling, a sort of grid system he described as a "CCTV ancestor,". Jay believes it was once used to discreetly monitor the ground floor from upstairs. That same grid pattern later inspired the visuals for his solo work, even appearing on the album cover. I knew immediately it had to be part of the portrait series.

@outlandish.vn x @boiledwonderlandrecords Satellite Preparty @blaqlyterover @jayvdotcom Jay Vatanakuljaras is a music producer and multidisciplinary artist, working under the name Jay V., as well as being a band member of JPBS (Jia Pa Bor Sue), and a member of the audio visual design collective, Hatchew People. Alongside his artistic practice, Vatanakuljaras also produces merchandise through Buams Store. Being a third-generation Chinese diaspora in Bangkok, he lives and works through constantly evolving notions of home and belonging. Vatanakuljara’s practice consistently looks at himself and those close to him, from his family to their worlds and his. Tracing his roots from the personal to beyond, he approaches that life, death and that which is in between, both in the individual and the cultural. Opening up conceptions of spiritual beliefs through the perspective of the living’s responsibility, to recollect, to remember and to depart from. Vatanakuljaras’s practice is a deeply personal and humble look of his origins in all senses, expanding outwards. His most recent work is his fourth solo album ‘Homeland’ released in June 2024, furthering the exploration of cultural heritage through folk influences from East and Southeast Asia. Sounds of nature, speech and chants combine as these cultural artefacts create a world of his conception of home. ‘Homeland’ evokes and builds on worship music of Chinese ancestral rites, drawing from his grandmother and the stories within their family home. Don’t miss out on his set this Saturday!
