Where the System Sees Nothing
(2025)Vertical video projection / Interactive installation / Floor projection
The database attempted to classify a lifeform but failed. It had no name, no category, no reference point. This was not a system error but a refusal to be explained. It exists on its terms, speaking in nature’s language, a language that does not require translation. This speculative plant species was generated from fragments collected in Benjakitti Park: plant debris, digital traces, and elements that elude recognition. These materials were processed through algorithms designed to identify what cannot be named.
This project questions systems of classification and separation that underpin scientific thinking and contemporary data structures. Classification helps make the world understandable, but often by reducing complexity into predefined categories. When something cannot be classified, it is usually treated as if it does not exist, even though it may possess a different kind of presence that transcends human comprehension. Drawing from Object-Oriented Ontology and Posthumanism, the work invites us to consider forms of existence that are not human-centered and may not require explanation at all.

Part of, Not Apart From
13 July - 30 September 2025
Part of, Not Apart From is a group exhibition exploring the evolving entanglements between humans and non-humans through the deep time of the Anthropocene. Using stratigraphy as both method and metaphor, it traces how human activity reshapes ecologies, sediments, and systems that resist classification.
The exhibition reimagines nature as an active, unruly force under planetary change. Works by Amornthep Mahamart, Chatchaiwat Chungchoo, Pratchaya Charernsook, and Waritsara Jirattitijaroen offer sensorial, speculative responses to multispecies coexistence, mutation, and collapse.
From suspended ceramics and decomposing hybrids to algorithmically imagined flora and monumental pipe sculptures, each piece invites us to sense, disturb, and be disturbed. The exhibition unfolds within an immersive space designed by Elemental Living, in collaboration with plant artist Satit Puttawararak (DOC Nursery)—proposing the Planthroposcene as a new site of encounter
