Thai Art Exhibition

The Pikture Gallery is proud to introduce and present

a Contemporary Photography Exhibition

"Lonely Land"

by Cattleya Jaruthavee

Opening reception: Thursday 19th May 2011 at 6:30 pm.
This summer exhibition will show a series of photography by up-and-coming female photographer Cattleya Jaruthavee.

This is her first solo exhibition, only at The Pikture Gallery.







“ Cattleya Jaruthavee portrays the effects of rural - urban migration in Thailand by examining the Northeastern region of Esarn. Emptiness has evolved from young adults leaving the area for larger cities, in search of work opportunities. What's left amidst the lonely landscapes are two extremes – the very young and old. Esarn is also where Thailand's bulk of rice is grown; a job left for the aged... full of uncertainty due to the area's vulnerability to droughts. Esarn's poverty is often looked down upon by larger cities, forgetting their rich culture and rice fields which turn the country's economy. Through photographic documentation, Lonely Land depicts aspects of Northeastern Thailand often forgotten. ”



The exhibition will be on display until Thursday 16th of June 2011

Reflection
According to Hegel, ‘When we "have the measure of something", we have effectively recognized it, we have "fixed" it in our consciousness and differentiated it from others, but this recognition is only "implicit". When we make this recognition explicit, we "recognize" something, and this is the moment of reflection, the beginning of the stage of Essence’.

This is but one interpretation of the word ‘reflection’, but one that pin - points a current perception I am reflecting on through my practice. It is within the ambiguity of the word ‘reflection’ that my work during this residency has evolved. With this site – specific installation, I hope to touch upon notions of transience and transformation in life – those moments of change and realization that stand out, though subtle and ethereally, within the chain of experience.

Process/Method
I have approached this residency with a tentative framework based on my research on metamorphosis and transformation. During the process, I tried at all times to take the studio space and its emotional impact on me into consideration. My ideas kept on oscillating between various potential resolutions, which explains the variety of experiments undertaken during the residency. It has been a challenging yet rewarding experience to explore new working methods and materials – from interacting and collaborating with artist friends, technicians, specialists in various fields, to trying out unfamiliar material such as translucent sticker – film and polyethylene.

The blog was a very useful too to keep track of my seemingly incoherent ideas and interests. In the end, it was the link that pointed me towards the interpretation I felt most comfortable with.
