Chulayarnnon Siriphol Read Bio Collapse
Both a filmmaker and an artist, Chulayarnnon Siriphol (b. 1986) employs moving images and his body as his main medium. His works are wide and varied in genre, ranging from experimental film and documentary to performance video and video installations. From adaptations of local mythology and science fiction to transformation of analog body to digital spirituality, he questions contemporary issues and political ideology through his own sense of sarcasm.

His solo exhibitions include Behind the Painting, curated by Hiroyuki Hattori at the Art Centre at Silpakorn University, Bangkok (2015); Museum of Kirati, Bangkok CityCity Gallery (2017); and Give Us A Little More Time, Bangkok CityCity Gallery (2020).
