Pratchaya Phinthong
Né en 1974 à Ubon Ratchathani, il vit et travaille à Bangkok.
Pratchaya Phinthong crée des situations comme une invitation faite au visiteur à partager une expérience avec lui. Ses projets (sans forme spécifique ou prédéfinie) suggèrent une fissure dans laquelle les spectateurs sont invités à combler les lacunes. Il construit un décor, une fiction, ou un processus où il peut tester nos perceptions. Il propose à son public une histoire aux parcours multiples. Un voyage dans les mémoires combiné à des perceptions subjectives. Ses projets sont souvent construits dans un dialogue entre l’artiste et les autres, faisant glisser le mouvement de l’artiste vers le champ social. Au-delà de toute expérience artistique ou formelle, l’artiste cherche à trouver sa place et son identité en jouant sur les représentations économiques et les existences culturelles, l’espace “galerie” devient un espace libre. Pratchaya Phinthong travaille donc dans une zone dynamique entre différentes réalités, soulignant l’espace et la distance qui les séparent : deux points géographiques, deux sociétés, deux systèmes économiques.
Le voyage est également un élément clé de son travail. L’expérience du déplacement a été le point central de l’exposition “Si je creuse un trou très profond” qui a eu lieu à gb agency en 2007. Un déplacement mental et physique tout à la fois. Une sorte d’autoportrait de l’artiste à Paris, “si je creuse un très grand trou…” représentait deux lunes sur un négatif. L’artiste a trouvé où se situerait l’extrême opposé géographique de Paris si nous pouvions tracer une ligne droite à travers le globe. Il est ensuite allé photographier la pleine lune sur les îles Chatham (Nouvelle-Zélande) avant de venir à Paris pour photographier la même pleine lune. Le même motif, la même chose, deux lieux diamétralement opposés, deux expériences individuelles, deux moments différents sont réunis dans cette œuvre. La résolution claire de ce long voyage est apparue creuse, comme une sorte de négatif ou de tirage, presque imperceptible.
