Local Sensations

Shot on black-and-white 16mm film, Local Sensations opens a loose, playful dialogue with Chatri Prakitnonthakan’s essay, How to Design a Modern Monument That Won’t Become a Shrine. Rather than illustrating the text, the film generates pluralities—unraveling the dichotomy of object and subject—and gestures toward a kind of topological politics.
