Phornphop Sittiruk: Sometimes You Can Be Weak

Kuala Lumpur-based contemporary gallery presents Thai artist Phornphop Sittiruk’s works, curated by Eric Goh. This exhibition suggests how mental illnesses might reveal more truth about neoliberal societies today, through an intimate narrative of the artist’s personal emotions, experience, and progress of learning to cope with depression. Through this showcase of crafted objets d’art and sculptures, forms of the human body and objects of daily life are distorted, portraying the breakdown of rigid masculinity and human psyche.
