The Sunrise From A Small Window is 85 meters long; it's the largest artwork in Thailand. It's a grand opening of the DIB museum, Bangkok.
For this exhibition, the selection also includes significant moments from Thai history and the Dib Museum itself—such as August 24, 2023, when Petch Osathanugrah, founder of Dib Bangkok, passed away; July 21, 2024, marking the beginning of Vassa (the Buddhist Rains Retreat); and December 10, 2024, Thailand’s Constitution Day. Alongside these public dates, I’ve also included deeply personal moments—such as November 26, 2024, the day my first daughter, Niko, was born.
Together, these entries—global, local, and personal—offer a layered narrative of modern time. They remind us that history isn’t a fixed archive, but a living, breathing collection of experiences. Sunrise from a Small Window becomes not only a record of days, but a reflection of how we inhabit them.
Inside the gallery shows the original artwork of paintings that were displayed outside the billboard, at the end, I painted the opening date of the sunrise on the Bangkok post and siplay there, and next one is the punchcard machine called “Present”, a punchcard machine and create a special experience, inviting guests to create their own memory of the exhibit. The card is a small artwork that guests can keep to preserve the memory. Each guest will pick up a card as they reach the ‘present day’ part of the gallery and insert it into the machine to be punched with the date and time: their piece of the timeline, a record of their memory of the exhibit. The comcept resonate the Bil Keane’s quote, “Yesterday is history and tomorrow is mystery, today is a gift that’s why it’s called present ”
