Confabulation at the corner

Developed during the Part to Pass #1 artist residency program, this project focuses on an immaterial aspect of Narathiwat’s urban landscape by integrating field recording, writing, and site-specific installation. The resulting work blends two distinct ‘voices’: the ambient soundscape of Narathiwat’s urban environment and a monologue recorded precisely at the site of installation. By combining architectural elements with the site’s natural acoustics, this artistic intervention captures the unique resonance of the space—the breathing of the room. Through this ‘confabulation,’ the piece overlays a place within a place.
