Model250A (The Archiver) – Sahapon Chootinan

Artist Statement

The Archiver’s concept of work is influenced by the work of first-person questioning, interfering for use in control, studying the control of a set of ideas using tools such as documentation or history, creating a new set of beliefs and understanding by making a documentation. Collecting permanent histories and hundreds of new stories to create new stories through reality and imagination. This is compared to writing a state’s history in which facts and fantasies are statistically used to control what can be said and what cannot be said in each period of history. But those evidences were interpreted into reality through the people of the state to support set of beliefs that the state will create. The goal is not to mislead the people, but trying to destroy the foundations of concepts, structures, methodologies for looking at facts in society which depends on the subjective understanding of the context through which it appears that attempts to critique the medium of truth and use the work to question the destruction of the state-created reality and destroy the use of information as a tool Politically, it is done to render a picture of fact that, in that context loses its objective power. where it should be. That being said, it is still link to the original concept of the previous work. This work portray about experiential possibilities or how to tell a story in the form of work. Differently, the work requires possibilities in other ways. The researcher wants to pose a challenging question about what is Time-based media, which is the media that is referenced on time. There is a timeline dividing the story beginning, middle, and end. The researcher wants to intervene in the timeline to create possibilities and results that are similar or different from the collage work. The work of the collage work are hung in the form of frames arranged in a row, each of which has content and different in details. At the same time it seems that each picture may be barely related or some pictures seem very related. When put together it present can be resemble onto each and another with thin line of storytelling. The viewers who come to thread the story of each picture together as if they are putting together a puzzle of the whole story in this wall, with the experience of each viewer. Clearly we can see that the collage are operate beyond the timeline. Therefore, it will results in telling the story in any sequence output. That in which researcher will work the animation that comes out in a format that is not on the timeline or can interfere with the timeline itself. The work therefore comes out as an interactive animation that the audience can choose to see the sequence of events. In any situation it is not always necessary to start from the first event to the second. An unnecessary sequence of events gives rise to the possibility of different perceptions. It also includes the fact that each event proceeds in its own circumstance and what is perceived in the event will be different as well through the subjectivity of interactor.
