FRWith Apichatpong Weerasethakul
Periphery of the Night, a monograph by Thai artist and filmmaker Apichatpong Weerasethakul, deploys an immersive project in the spaces of the IAC where animals and humans, ghosts and forests, and the living and the dead cohabit within drowsy in-between worlds. Receptive to the perceptual and cosmomorphical approaches of the Laboratoire espace cerveau, the artist employs this research framework to develop the questions that drive him and that underpin his attention to reality. Without seeking to disentangle the visible and invisible, how can one qualify the perception of time and space that he proposes to visitors? How to understand borderline ways of being, on the frontier between waking and sleeping, life and death, through the intellectual and sensitive tools offered by Buddhism, neurosciences, chronobiology and the theories of memory? By drawing scientific and philosophical thinking from these “nocturnal peripheries”, Station 20 invites visitors to formulate and intensify the individual and collective transformations that have been initiated by Apichatpong Weerasethakul.
