What?

A time-based media titled Repeat After Me will focus on the repetition of dialogues and actions in Thai propaganda films that were used to brainstorm and manipulate people in the society. It will create the sense of hypnosis and make you aware of what you are perceiving. It will be shot on both digital and analog format.

Why make it?

I would like to develop the research on propaganda in Thailand further. I consider "The Holy Sponge" , my recent film, as a start of creating political work in an ironic approach. I think there is a lot of possibility to dive deeper into this topic and it is one way to understand the society that I grew up in.

Workflow

Firstly, I will select and watch the propaganda films that are effective in terms of implanting a certain idea, analyse them and pick some terms or sentence that were used several times in the films. Secondly, I will create work based on the selected term and sentence that I got from the previous stage. Then I will explore the term, phrase or sentence from the works I made. Lastly, I will select some terms and sentence to depict them through time based media.

Timetable

Now - June : Research on propaganda films from Thailand. Watch and select the films regarding their efficiency in brainwashing.
