Alisa Chunchue, a visual artist based in Bangkok, relentlessly investigates physical and mental states, questioning what it means to be human and what drives us to perceive existence. Her investigation reveals that human bodies are intertwined in today's society, with multi-layered interconnections reaching all the way to sickness and mortality. She worked across mediums and disciplines in a series of large-scale projects, comprising sculpture, installation, drawing, and performance. She uses sculptural elements such as living bodies confronting audiences in space to recount a suspended moment in life, evoking a selected circumstance to analogy her personal experiences. Correlating the organic substances within the body to fragile and ephemeral materials that deteriorate or evaporate. Turn the body inside out by dissecting it piece by piece, then combining it with physics, computation, time, medical history, as well as literature, turning personal concerns into statements from one to another through the body as the center of examinations.
