Confabulation at the corner

This project, an output of the Part to Pass #1 artist residency program, focuses on the immaterial elements present in Narathiwat's urban landscape. It integrates field recording, site-specific installation, and writing. The result is a site-specific installation and a sound piece that blends two distinct "voices": the soundscape of Narathiwat's urban area and a monologue recorded precisely where the work is installed. This artistic intervention, which combines architectural elements and the site's acoustics, captures the unique resonance of the space—what you might call "the breathing of the room." This "confabulation" then recreates a place within a place.
