The podium supports the feeling of high value’s things as a display. I can feel the power, emphasis, massiveness of the artwork. At first, I think this work might about the government that has many tanks, with a fragile system by interpret with ceramics. But actually is about in negotiations in 1717 between Frederick Augustus of Saxony who was obsessed with Chinese porcelain and Frederick William of Prussia who valued the bigger army to fight the wars. This tank is a symbol of value exchange in that period which is 600 cavalrymen know as dragoon, for a collection of 151 Chinese blue-white porcelain vases.

In fact, Lu Yang multi-media artist who creates fantastical, visions of death, sexuality, mental disease, and neurological constructs of both real lifeforms and deities. Deeply immersed in the subcultures of anime, video games, and sci-fi, Lu Yang taps into the enormous influence of Japanese cultural imports on a specific generation in China (those born in the 1980s) as means for provocative imagination that never fails to fascinate, bewilder, and even enrage her audience.
I don’t like anything in this work such as their over the top makeup and vivid colors in the film also the dialog that repeats the sentence to push the pressure on the audience, but this movie includes many topics commodification and sexualization of youth through advertisement

Two Little Soldiers (Pen-ek Ratanaruang, 2020) is a silent short movie to represent the freedom of speech and expression that is taken away by the rulers. To me, this short film represents the fact of the Thai government that corruption. I like the scene that the country girl talk about the Thai government employees that give the fish can but didn’t give the opener of the can, this really represents how the government employees’ working like they don’t care about the problem of Thai people

In this video, I see a tiny heart beating in the hand and all around are flower fields. I interpret that is a tiny spirit that trying to live in a beautiful World but cruel.
In Glitter’s Paradise (Dinh Q. Lê, 2009) is a video inspired by Gary Glitter, the pedophile British. A small heart in the hand represents the violence of a pedophile in contrast with the fragility and will of the children to live.
In Thailand, the iconic of a Buffalo is Stupid or a person who easy to control. First impressions of this work are I quite sure that it’s mean the people or community that following each other easily due to in this artwork seem like they don’t have any argument in the line by the control of better people(a Buffalo that has a human body) to the dead ends
Souliya Phoumivong developed an interest in photography and animation while on a residency in Japan. That’s why he use stop motion as a medium. The video Flow questions both conscious and unconscious habits of following the masses through a colorful cast of buffalo who tempt human protagonists to join the herd in a cyclic meandering.
This work also makes me feel confused. Assistance handle the book carefully, I see the strange alphabet on every page, I don’t know what is all about, those letters look like a keyboard on the piano, then I go to an another of this series and find out from the reaction of the audience that sits on the floor to read those letters in a different angle.
Minah Son graduated from the Nuremberg Academy of Fine Arts in 2000 and majored in fine arts at the Berlin University of Arts, I think this is because she spends time studying in German which’s why she uses German Text in this work.
The little hole in the box makes me want to see what’s inside the box.

But I’m not really sure about what I just saw due to it’s only the picture without sound then I going to read the comments of other viewers, some of the comments are the same idea as me and some I misinterpreted.
This work is a lot of mind mapping, symbols, and codes on cardboard. I have no idea what is this thing about, but it looks like a series of something. The quantity of the work shows the impact of labor work. I have seen this work on the street in Bangkok and also on social media that share and find who is the creator of this work on the street and what is the meaning of this work. Samer’s art is in the category of outsider art which is Art Brut. After seeing this work I think to myself that everyone can be an artist.
Art Brut is a Self-centered work to react or talk about the situation or experience of the creator, the creator must be the people who never study about art such as the work of the insane, prisoners, and children in this case Mr.Samer is homeless and insane.
