The catalogue for the exhibition of four large installtion works by Thai artist, Phatyos Buddhachaoren, at the National Gallery.
"All things in life are an illusion: a phenomenon that concerns formation and disintegration with what we call time, as a factor that causes them to appear in a variety of forms when in fact they are not really there, do not exist, and are formless.....To look at ourselves and our minds through contemplation and keep it from drifting away with our feelings is to know, not in a lethargic state, but rather by being constantly awake and alert. It is like learning about life by observing the self through our senses and perception of the surroundings." - Excerpt taken from artist's essay in the catalogue.
