American Artist Alex Gvojic (partner) attends the presentation of the first exhibition in Portugal of Korakrit Arunanondchai (Thailand, 1986), at the Serralves Museum. These artists move between the fields of video, performance, sculpture and installation and which is divided between two cultures: that of the East, where they were born and grew up, and that of the West, in particular that of the USA, on November, 2020, Porto, Portugal. This exhibition, entitled No history in a room filled with people with funny names 5 (2019), is an installation made in partnership with the artist Alex Gvojic (USA, 1984), a friend with whom he has been working for several years. Boychild, an artist linked to performance and dance who collaborates regularly with Korakrit Arunanondchai, is also a figure present in this work. The work involves the viewer in a mysterious and nocturnal environment in which a triple video projection is combined with laser rays emitted from a sculpture that suggests a lying human figure. The earth that covers the floor and the presence of natural materials (shells, branches) resemble a pre- or post-historic environment.
