SAME SKY
A Solo Exhibition By Rungruang Sittirerk
Curated by Thiti Teeraworawit
29 January - 19 April 2025
In an age where photographs drift between phone screens and the cloud crossing borders, cities, and the timelines of countless people an image may no longer belong to anyone in particular, yet it can awaken a familiar feeling within the body: a sense of home, even in a place one has never truly been.
…
Same Sky invites viewers to see the sky as a shared space—regardless of belief, background, or lived experience. We all look up at the same sky, and each of us fills it with our own stories.
This exhibition presents photographs, written notes, and installation works that explore memory, hope, and the quiet inner moments that often lie behind what is visible on the surface. Visitors will encounter works that question what unfolds collectively in this world, even when we stand in different places or live through entirely different experiences.
Same Sky is therefore not only about looking at the sky, but about looking at one another through distance, resemblance, and difference and discovering a small shared space between reality and feeling.
About the Artist
Rungruang Sittirerk (B. 1988, Chiang Mai, Thailand)
Rungruang Sittirerk is a contemporary artist whose practice explores labour, migration, and economic structures through photography, video, objects, and sound.
His work brings attention to stories often buried beneath the rapid growth of the city—from traces of construction workers and luk-thung music from roadside speakers to media cultures that construct dreams for the urban working class within fast-paced capitalism.
Although his family background as migrant workers forms the initial impetus for his practice, what Rungruang emphasizes today is restoring presence to the “silence” surrounding labour. Through fragments of shared memory—songs, folktales, objects, and everyday landscapes—he reconstructs what is often overlooked. Using installation and the interplay of sound and image, he creates spaces where viewers can confront the structures that shape workers’ lives more closely.
His works therefore go beyond documentation. They assemble new spaces that give voice to those who are unseen, revealing layers of desire, exhaustion, and quiet resistance that persist beneath the shared sky of contemporary Thai society.
