About this Event

A screening and reading programme with Komtouch Napattalong, Kaisa Saarinen, and Bart Seng Wen Long, which extends out from the trio’s collective installation, bringing focus to their distinct yet sympathetic forms of narration and storytelling.

In collaboration with Prince Claus Fund.

Ticket: €7,50
Student and solidarity ticket: €5,00

Komtouch Napattaloong (he/him) is a visual artist and filmmaker based in Thailand. Working across experimental, documentary, and “post-documentary” cinematic forms, his practice involves identity deconstructions, migration narratives, and historical translations to examine the nature of memory, displacement, and image agency.

Kaisa Saarinen (she/her) is a Finnish researcher, poet, and novelist based in London. She writes about false dichotomies, country girls lost in the dazzle of big cities and other underdogs, strange desires and painful transformations, with particular attention to the absurd pleasures and frequent horrors of living through an ongoing apocalypse. Together with Bart Seng Wen Long, she is leading the Rubber Dreams of its Lifetime project.

Bart Seng Wen Long (he/him) is a Singaporean artist, filmmaker and curator based in London. His practice spans moving images, photography, expanded cinema and performance, revolving around confrontations between reality and fantasy, and how in the heat of such encounters, they reveal the interconnectedness of things within the political economy of desire.
