Kawita Vatanajyankur
b. 1987, Bangkok, Thailand
Vatanjyankur’s work titled VOIDSCAPE (2022) presented in virtual reality, seeks to discover ways in which labourers compete to survive during rapid stages of change. To question if humans are being dehumanised and becoming more like machines, the body of the artist, in this series, performs various tasks, from dyeing the yarns to ploughing the soil. Created in collaboration with Cyrus James Khan and Central Department Store, the medium brings the audience to interactively experience the new unknown worlds that questions the future of labour and environment affected by capitalism and mass production.
