James Prapaithong, Afternoon Daydreams, 2021

This work by Prapaithong is part of his large-scale series that resembles blown-up photographs and cinema. Using high colour saturation and a particular attention to light, this hazy, dream-like, sunny landscape, inhabited by constructions interposed by thick vegetation, on a milky-sky background, becomes a vehicle to communicate the uncertainty of recall, the construction of memory and the space between connection and estrangement. The artist uses the absence of humanity to emphasize the significance of space: the viewers are drawn into this created cinematic world exploring memory, isolation and longing.
