River > Birth is an immersive installation that extends from Re > Birth by Thirasak Tanapatanakul.
Rooted in the artist’s long term relationship with nature—shaped through living and working on his family project, “Burgbarnburi,” in Khao Yai—the work emerges from direct observation of fire, water, growth, and transformation.
These elements are not treated as symbolic representations, but as lived experiences translated into artistic form. While Re > Birth questioned how one might begin again in the aftermath of collapse, this exhibition shifts from viewing renewal as an “event” toward sensing it as a “state”—a state of flow, transfer, and transformation that continuously unfolds within both nature and life.
At 10 10 Art Space, the space is reconfigured into an environment that viewers gradually move through: from traces of charcoal and pink blossoms, to inverted mountain forms that transform into sources of water; from reservoirs of moisture, moss, and vitality, to a dark transitional tunnel, before opening into a luminous space that remains active and alive. The viewer does not stand outside the work, but becomes part of its flow—through movement, bodily presence, and perception. Rather than following a linear trajectory from origin to destination.
River > Birth proposes an understanding of renewal as a continuously shifting state. Loss, accumulation, growth, and movement are not separate conditions, but coexist
