Film Workshop by Gianna Surangkanjanajai

This workshop focuses on critical thinking methods that manifest themselves at the intersection of the visual and the verbal. The place of aesthetics, resistance and ambivalence will be explored in light of ad hoc/experimental film making.

Bio:
Gianna Surangkanjanajai works primarily in sculpture, attending to situations in which form seems to surface from the conditions that surround it. Her works often take up geometric bodies, yet these figures appear less as fixed shapes than as points of departure, as structures that gradually soften, shift, or become porous through material change. Transparent volumes hold substances sensitive to light, temperature, and gravity; their appearance is never singular but unfolds in the rhythm of their surroundings. Sculpture here withdraws from the certainty of objecthood and appears instead as a process, an arrangement that keeps adjusting itself, remaining open to external conditions. At moments when the works operate at thresholds between material und immaterial presence, this openness gives rise to an expanded field of possibility.
