A sprawling multi-channel installation examining collective memory, national mythology, and the architecture of belonging. Three synchronized projections fill the main hall with haunting imagery of abandoned monuments and reimagined rituals. The spectator becomes a witness — implicated, disoriented, and ultimately unable to look away.
Multi-channel video installation, sound, found objects — Gallery AA meditation on the skin of things — painting, bodies, digital interfaces. Arunanondchai layers resin, latex, and projected footage across a series of monumental panels that resist classification as either painting or screen. The surfaces breathe, decay, and regenerate in slow loops.
Mixed media on panel, video projection — Gallery BKiwanga's first major solo presentation in the region transforms the entire ground floor into a graduated environment of light, sound, and spatial intervention. Architectural interventions create corridors of compressed and expanded perception, exploring how power operates through the very spaces we move through unthinkingly.

03 — Mission
Obsidian Gallery was founded in 2018 with a singular conviction: that contemporary art should provoke before it pleases, question before it resolves, and confront before it decorates. We represent artists whose work resists easy consumption and rewards sustained engagement.
Our program spans installation, sculpture, digital art, and mixed media — practices that demand physical presence and intellectual commitment. We do not represent painters who make beautiful objects for beautiful walls. We represent artists who make necessary ones.
We invest in artists who challenge their own practice, not those who repeat winning formulas.
Depth of engagement matters more than breadth of audience.
Installation art cannot be understood through photographs. Come to the gallery.
We believe in critical conversation as the engine of contemporary culture.
"The gallery is not a shop. It is a room where something irreversible might happen between a person and a work of art. Our responsibility is to protect that possibility." — Elena Vasquez, Founding Director
