NAWAPOL THAMRONGRATTANARIT 纳瓦彭·坦荣瓜塔纳利

HEAVY 重 30.09 - 11.11.2023

BANGKOK CITYCITY GALLERY is proud to presentHEAVYby renowned filmmaker Nawapol Thamrongrattanarit, opening on Saturday September 30, 2023. In a world where film and most media has transcended into the digital sphere, the artist reflects upon the intangible nature of his creations, lamenting, “he is unable to touch his own work.”

HEAVY showcases a staggering collection of over 120 large-scale framed photographs. Meticulously organized into stacks, the expansive installation manifests as a virtual archive given physical form. The selection, drawn from a staggering collection of more than 50,000 images captured over a decade, chronicles everyday sights and moments from his filmmaking process. A significant portion represents personal images, often not intended for print, making their presence all the more insightful. In curating these photos, the filmmaker noticed an emerging trend — a subconscious preference evident in the images he gravitates toward both in creation and appreciation.

The exhibition’s title –HEAVY– isn’t merely a descriptor of the physical weight of these large-scale photographs. It is also symbolic of the emotions encapsulated within. Looking through his own extensive library of photographs was, in his own words, “exhausting.” There’s an undeniable heaviness felt from the photographs, a sentiment that is paradoxically ironic, given the weightlessness of digital mediums.

Thamrongrattanarit began his practice of storytelling in 1997 – a journey that encompassed writing, crafting magazines, and dabbling in a variety of media. Continuously experimenting and expanding his repertoire of formats has been a way for him to effectively communicate his narratives. WithHEAVY, the emphasis is on the tangible; the exhibitionary format allows him to guide audiences more directly, influencing how they engage with both the work and the medium. In this respect, the presentation becomes more than just an art showcase. It simultaneously serves as an experiment in evolving storytelling methods.

Moreover, the exhibition invites audiences to interact with these photographs. To move them, to feel them — an experience often denied in traditional photographic exhibitions – and serving to transform the archetypal spectatorship of exhibition-going into an active, rather than passive, role. This tangible interaction with images emulates the sensation of scrolling through folders on a digital hard-drive. The volume and presentation are methodological, and the transformation of the space becomes reminiscent of someone’s personal room. The experience becomes intimate, offering an unparalleled peek into another’s life, an autobiographical journey that promises personal connections.

曼谷 CITYCITY 画廊很荣幸地呈现著名电影制作人 Nawapol Thamrongrattanarit 的《HEAVY》，该作品将于 2023 年 9 月 30 日星期六开幕。在电影和大多数媒体已经超越到数字领域的世界中，艺术家反思了他创作的无形本质，感叹， “他无法触及自己的作品。”

HEAVY 展示了 120 多张大型镶框照片，数量惊人。庞大的装置被精心组织成堆栈，表现为给定物理形式的虚拟档案。该精选集选自十多年来拍摄的 50,000 多张照片，记录了他电影制作过程中的日常景象和瞬间。很大一部分是个人图像，通常不用于印刷，这使得它们的存在更具洞察力。在策划这些照片时，电影制片人注意到了一种新兴趋势——他在创作和欣赏时所偏向的图像中明显表现出一种潜意识的偏好。

展览的标题“沉重”不仅仅是对这些大尺寸照片的物理重量的描述。它也象征着其中蕴含的情感。用他自己的话来说，浏览自己庞大的照片库是“令人筋疲力尽的”。从这些照片中可以感受到一种不可否认的沉重感，考虑到数字媒体的失重性，这种情绪是自相矛盾的讽刺。

Thamrongrattanarit 于 1997 年开始讲故事的实践，这段旅程包括写作、制作杂志和涉足各种媒体。不断尝试和扩展他的格式库是他有效传达叙事的一种方式。 HEAVY 的重点是有形的；展览形式使他能够更直接地引导观众，影响他们与作品和媒介的互动方式。从这个角度来看，这次展示不仅仅是一次艺术展示。它同时也是不断发展的讲故事方法的实验。

此外，展览邀请观众与这些照片互动。感动它们，感受它们——这种体验在传统摄影展览中常常被拒绝——并有助于将参观展览的典型观众角色转变为主动而非被动的角色。这种与图像的有形交互模拟了在数字硬盘驱动器上滚动文件夹的感觉。体积和呈现都是方法论的，空间的转变让人想起某人的私人房间。这种体验变得亲密，提供了对他人生活的无与伦比的了解，这是一次有望建立个人联系的自传式旅程。（来自机翻）
