Future Perfect is delighted to present ‘Fiction’, Apichatpong Weerasethakul's first ever solo exhibition in Singapore. ‘Fiction’ will feature a careful selection of video and photographic works drawn from the last decade of the artist’s career, exploring the blurred lines between truth and fiction, an enduring theme in his oeuvre. After ten years pushing the boundaries of film and video practice, Apichatpong’s status as a moving image pioneer was cemented in 2010 when he took the Palme d’ Or at the Cannes Film Festival, perhaps the cinema’s most coveted prize.

Spanning the range of Apichatpong’s stylistic and formal experiments, ‘Fiction’ will offer a selective review of an extraordinary decade for Thailand’s preeminent moving image artist. The show will illuminate his unique approach to narrative and his trademark, effortless crossings between everyday reality and the life of the imagination. Timed to coincide with Art Stage Singapore, ‘Fiction’ will reflect Apichatpong’s inventive engagement with images circulating globally, from a standpoint that is both distinctively Thai and recognizably Southeast Asian.
