Previous Project
Bangkok Out of Doors, 2017
A Juxtaposition between Hungarian Rural and Bangkok Urban Experience
Living as a “Bangkokian”, I have many thing to speak about this city. After had learnt Bela Bartók’s Out of Doors, I discovered that Bartók held connection with the outer world very high. He didn’t only traveled throughout Hungary, Romania and Slovak in order to record folk music, but also believed in brotherhood among people especially the peasant; thus Bartók produced works of eclecticism and uniqueness. I was inspired by that point to connect Bartók’s world with mine, which is Bangkok, through video edited using footage of Bangkok; so as to provide a context for the piece and a more personal performance that infuses with personal experience.
