In Front of the Camera - In the Process of Looking
A Solo Exhibition by Kornkrit Jianpinidnan
Curated by Kritsada Duchsadeevanich
27 January - 21 April 2024
Investigates the essence of the reality of photos, which creates direct dialogues with the artistic process of the works in which Jianpinidnan has first-hand experience with the condition of an object appearing in front and the process of making that object appear pre and post of the production.
Photos taken on various occasions and contexts, from documentary and commercial to experimental, are chosen to expand and reproduce in the present's new spatial and temporal contexts. It is like looking back to search for sediments of time that these photos craftily record with objectives and then re-narrate their descriptive prose of reality in different angles and perspectives, connecting time with the essence of movement and change of language expressed in the photos.
Jianpinidnan takes us into the reverie of time that emerges in his photographs, creating dialogues that connect and knit as if a stream flows endlessly. These verses of photos emit light, shining on the motion of reality, which embraces time and the evolution of photos moving towards their zenith. We will then see the breaks in the meaning of photos and various techniques, which influence our ways of thinking and the representation techniques of reality.
About the Artist
Kornkrit Jianpinidnan (B.1975 in Chiang Rai, Thailand)
Kornkrit Jianpinidnan is interested in photography as a device to search for knowledge, logic, changing reality, and the relationship between the experience and the gaze of different situations. His photos lead the audience into the trance of objects presented before them. He plunges himself into those objects, making them interact directly with the audience through photography. Not only do his photos reveal the condition of the emergence of photos, but they also offer new experiences that take the audience into the world of his photographs' details, methods, techniques, and installations.
