Apichatpong Weerasethakul began making films and video shorts in 1994 and completed his first feature in 2000. Since 1998, he has also created installations and exhibitions across the world. Recognized as a singular voice in both cinema and contemporary art, his work weaves together memory, myth, desire, and landscape—often unfolding through non-linear, meditative structures. Apichatpong’s films include Memoria (2021) his first feature made outside Thailand, starring Tilda Swinton, which received the Cannes Jury Prize; Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives, which won the Palme d’Or in 2010; Tropical Malady, winner of the Cannes Jury Prize in 2004; and Blissfully Yours, awarded Un Certain Regard in 2002. Syndromes and a Century (2006) has been widely celebrated as one of the defining films of the early 21st century. Beyond the cinema, Apichatpong’s installations explore themes of time, invisibility, and collective memory. Notable projects include Primitive (2009), Fireworks (Archives) (2014), and Invisibility (2016). More recent works such as Fic (2018), SleepCinemaHotel (2018), A Minor History (2021–2022), A Conversation with the Sun VR (2022), Solarium (2023), and Ring of Fire (2024, with Haegue Yang) continue to expand his interest in the unseen, the spiritual, and the ecological. Apichatpong’s work has been exhibited in museums, biennials, and festivals worldwide. A retrospective of his practice was presented at Centre Pompidou in Paris in 2024. He lives and works in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
