Biography

Arin Rungjang (born 1974 in Bangkok) lives and works in Bangkok. His practice involves different media, mainly video and site-specific installations. As he dives into the depths of history and day-to-day experiences, he skillfully dissects his material to propose a reinterpretation of major events, seen through the prism of more minor ones. By multiplying temporal and spatial references, he expects his public to reconstitute these different layers. After spending a year at the Beaux-Arts de Paris in Christian Boltanski’s studio in 2000, Rungjang graduated from Silpakorn University with a visual arts degree in 2002. Recent exhibitions: « Golden Teardrop », Thai Pavilion, 55th Venice Biennale (2013); 18th Sydney Biennale (2012).
