life and work
Araya Rasdjarmrearnsook was born in Thailand in 1957. In 1986 she obtained a Master of Fine Arts from Silpakorn University in Bangkok . She worked with a focus on gravure printing , etching and aquatint . Rasdjarmrearnsook completed her education with a diploma for fine arts in 1990 at the University of Fine Arts Braunschweig . She became a master student there in 1994.
In the early 1990s she created figurative installations. Questions about the relationship between life and death, between cultural constraints and individuality are raised. Other topics include the body, female experiences, loss, and isolation. In the late 1990s, Rasdjarmrearnsook incorporated rituals into her work and began recording videos. An extraordinary series in which she performs the death rituals for lonely dead people has emerged. In the morgue of a hospital she sings songs for the deceased, tells stories and recites poetry. In 2005 she performed a multi-channel video installation in the Thai pavilion at the 51st Biennale di Venezia .
The video The Class (2005) shows Rasdjarmrearnsook standing at a blackboard teaching several figures covered with white sheets and lying on metal stretchers .
Two Planets (2008) is a series in which people from rural areas of Thailand are confronted with European works of art. Breakfast in the Green (1863) by Édouard Manet , The Gleaners (1857) by Jean-François Millet , Judith beheading Holofernes (approx. 1612) by Artemisia Gentileschi and Wolfman (1991) by Jeff Koons are shown. The audience sits with their backs to the camera and the uncensored conversations are played back as English subtitles.
Dogs are an important motif in Rasdjarmrearnsook's work. In 2012 her contribution to dOCUMENTA (13) was a work entitled Village and Elsewhere. In this circumstance the sole object of attention should be the treachery of the moon . For three weeks the artist lived with a dog in a house in the Karlsaue in Kassel, which was shielded by a fence . On monitors installed in the windows of the house, video recordings of dogs roaming the streets of Thailand are shown.
Rasdjarmrearnsook has been a professor at Chiang Mai University since 1987 .
