Prapat Jiwarangsan (b.1979, Bangkok)I am a visual artist from Thailand. I have a strong background in interdisciplinary art and research. I was trained in ceramics and glassmaking, but after studying at London's Royal College of Art, I have shifted my artistic practice to focus on fine arts. In my creative explorations, I usually incorporate a variety of media, especially photography and video, in order to investigate and represent the relationships between history, memory, and politics in Thailand—particularly in relation to the theme of migration. In the past four years, I have researched and developed a practice that explores the experience of migrant workers outside of their home countries. I see my work as a platform for artist, viewers and migrant workers to communicate and learn from each other.
My installations have appeared in Bangkok, London, Berlin, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Kyoto, Seoul and Singapore while my videos have screened at international film events such as Berlin International Film Festival, International Film Festival Rotterdam, Ann Arbor Film Festival, USA., and Onion City Experimental Film and Singapore International Film Festival. Currently, I am an independent artist, and I am based in Bangkok.
