Morakot (Emerald). 2007
Single channel video installation
11 mins The ‘Emerald’ is a disused hotel in Bangkok, which opened its doors in the 1980s when Thailand was going through social change and an accelerated economy. Things changed with the Asian economic crisis in the late 1990s. As he was researching rooms for another shoot, the experience of being in the now empty spaces, with motes lingering in the air made an impact (…). He returned to the hotel a year later, re-engaging with this experience together with his actors as they recounted their own memories and dreams to make Morakot. (From a text by Matthew Ngui.)
