The Age of Anxiety by Taiki Sakpisit, part of the film & video program of transmediale 2018 face value

The Age of Anxiety is a meditation on fin de siècle Thailand as depicted in 1980s Thai melodrama. Taiki Sakpisit immerses the viewer in a world of hallucinatory images, backed by the howling guitar feedback of rock band Moth Drakula. The original footage is deconstructed into thousands of frantic fragments—like violent stabs of disturbing memories, perpetual nightmares, and reinvented histories that ascend into the mind-expanding horizon of a fragile nation on the verge of madness.
