Som Supaparinya, 26 September 2026 – 21 February 2027
Explore the boundary between the natural and the human-made through the lens of Thai video artist Som Supaparinya (b. 1973). For the first time in Scandinavia, Kunsthal Charlottenborg presents her thought-provoking works, investigating industrial activity.
Som Supaparinya blends documentary and experimental approaches to explore political, social, and personal themes, investigating how human activity shapes both people and landscapes.
Through depictions of changing rivers, urban spaces, transport networks, and energy production, Supaparinya questions the boundary between the natural and the human-made, and the line between reality and imagination.
Her most recent projects examine, in particular, the social and environmental impact of industrial activity in Thailand, offering a profound reflection on the interconnectedness of society, industry, and the natural world.
This exhibition is presented as part of the Han Nefkens Foundation—Southeast Asian Video Art Production Grant 2024 In memory of Dinh Q. Lê, and in collaboration with Jim Thompson Art Center; Outpost Art Organisation, Vietnam; Museion, Italy; Hiroshima City Museum of Contemporary Art, Japan; Kunsthal Charlottenborg, Denmark; and Rockbund Art Museum, China.
The exhibition at Kunsthal Charlotteborg is supported by the Augustinus Foundation, Danish Arts Foundation, and Obel Family Foundation.
