Johan van der Keuken Retrospective Part I
Five Artworks that Inspired Apichatpong Weerasethakul's Memoria (2021)
On the occasion of his visit to Bozar in Brussels, Apichatpong Weerasethakul selects five artworks that revolve like satellites around his latest film Memoria (2021), films or other works of art that served as an inspiration or influence, thematically or in terms of form.
The Cinema of Apichatpong Weerasethakul
Thai filmmaker Apichatpong Weerasethakul (1970) is known for, among other films, Tropical Malady (2004) and Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives (2010), which shows, in Apichatpong’s words, “the relationship between man and animal and at the same time destroys the line dividing them”. His latest film, Memoria (2021), takes place in Columbia, where a deep historical context resonates, foreign to both the main character and the director himself. His films experiment with the dramatic plot structure of Thai television, radio programs, comics and films. He often uses improvised dialogues and non-professional actors, exploring the boundaries between documentary and fiction.
