MONTIKA KHAM-ON

 

(1999, Samut Prakarn / Berlin)
An artist and filmmaker. She explores collective fear, unconventional futures not dictated by major institutions, but by the nuanced struggles of outcasted entities. Kham-on is also interested in fields that work with the body, from theater to dance. She strives to incorporate said fields with moving images to grapple with what is beyond the boundaries of language.
