As part of Apichatpong Weerasethakul’s A Minor History, SILENCE is a three-channel synchronized video installation (21 mins, color / B&W, sound, 2020), integrating archival footage and texts to recount the unvoiced memories of the most gruesome incident in modern Thai history.

6 – 10 October 2021
100 Tonson Foundation, Bangkok
FREE ADMISSION

As Thailand marks 45 years since the 6 October 1976 Massacre, 100 Tonson Foundation invites you to join a special showcase of SILENCE, conceived and directed by Kick the Machine Documentary Collective, and commissioned by Asia Culture Center (ACC),
Gwangju, Republic of Korea.

 

“In a city where hearing suddenly disappears from its inhabitants,
dreaming becomes the only thing close to perceiving sound. They keep
waiting for National Sleep Week. A best-selling dream-teller drifts
through a long dream, chasing a group of mysterious fireworks – blast
of enlightenment telling a latent story of a city full of peculiar sounds.”

Kick the Machine Documentary Collective
