Parinda Mai, like many of her generation in Thailand and Southeast Asia, grew up with the story Twelve Sisters or Phra Ros Meri, communicated to in various forms from oral history to soap operas and cartoon animations. This exhibition is the artist’s personal search and recognition of the energy and morality embedded in this Buddhist myth-folktale Twelve Sisters, within the context of the contemporary globalized epoch. Through abstraction and materially concerned moving image projection and installation, the project is ultimately an investigation into the questions concerning human place in nature, gender, binary, technology and transcendence. At the core of her practice is the intention to reconcile with the paradoxical dualities within these realms.
