The artist’s body converses with an abandoned building owned by East Asiatic Company Thailand. The structure, built in 1884 was used by the Danish company as their headquarters during the colonial era. The body is sceptical of the meta-statement: ‘Thailand has never been colonized’. It explores the wrecked building, when the artist begins to embody the conversation. A form of body movement, a trace of colonization gradually emerges. The question, “How much do we own the way we are?” begins to resonate, and becomes the starting point of this exploration.
