EXHIBITION

PUANGSOI AKSORNSAWANG and TAE PARVIT

Neighbor

23 May–27 June 2026

BANGKOK CITYCITY GALLERY presents “Neighbor”, the second exhibition in its ongoing two-artists exhibition series, bringing together the practices of Puangsoi Aksornsawang and Tae Parvit in a shared exploration of observation, memory and cinematic perception. Moving between image, text, object, and atmosphere, the exhibition considers how personal and collective histories emerge through fragments, gestures, and acts of looking.

Puangsoi approaches writing as both a literary and artistic method, moving between diaries, scriptwriting, and poetry. Her works trace tensions, perceptions, and negotiations between former and present selves, drifting throughs trange encounters and states of life, death, and rebirth. Blurring subjectivities between the artist, the narrator, and imagined neighbors, writing becomes embedded within her broader artistic practice as a space where memory, fiction, and lived experience continuously intersect.

Parvit’s paintings emerge through chance encounters, improvisation, and fleeting observations. Bringing together past and recent works, his paintings register shifts within his painterly language, where brushstrokes capture passing time by stripping images from their original contexts. Through dispersed shades of blue and pink, the works produce atmospheres that are at once unstable and contemplative, allowing reverie and possibility to surface.

Neighbor brings these practices into dialogue through a spatial arrangement where images, texts, and memories unfold like scenes recalled out of sequence.Rather than presenting fixed narratives, the exhibition proposes a fragmented and open-ended encounter in which everyday life is reconstructed into something poetic, cinematic, and deeply personal.

ARTIST

PUANGSOI AKSORNSAWANG and TAE PARVIT

Puangsoi Aksornsawang is a director, a writer and a scriptwriter. Her debut feature ‘Nakorn-Sawan’ (2018) premiered at the Busan International Film Festival 2018. The film won the Taipei Golden Horse’s Observation Mission for Asian Cinema Award, and has screened at various international film festivals. Her films are an homage of our relationship with loss. Using moving image as medium to to not only tell stories, she blends fiction and non-fiction in an attempt to reconcile our relationship with the self.

Tae Parvit expresses abstractions of reality through a myriad of means. Though practicing predominantly as a painter, his creative output has spanned the genres of animation, digital drawings, screen-printing, publication, music, performance, and to a lesser extent, mural painting as well. It is therefore unsurprising to find his paintings inflected with the characteristics of these varied genres, bearing nuanced traits of movement, textures, and narratives. Even though taking inspiration from personal experiences and the world around him, his works transcend merely being auto-biographical chronicles. Rather, he draws viewers into realms of colors that meld images, times, and stories in melodious harmony and counterpoint.
