FR • EN • NOVA CONTEMPORARY • Kawita Vatanajyankur • Exposition Memory Machines • Solo Exhibition at Yuz Museum • May 8 – Aug 30, 2026 • Shanghai • Press Release
la première exposition personnelle en Chine de l’artiste thaïlandaise Kawita Vatanajyankur. Cette exposition marque également son retour sur la scène internationale après quatre ans d’absence. Réunissant six œuvres représentatives, créées entre 2018 et 2025, elle offre
un panorama approfondi de ses observations et réflexions critiques sur l’évolution constante du travail humain. Dans « Memory Machine », sa dernière série commandée par le musée Yuz, elle déplace son champ d’investigation de « l’humain mécanisé » vers l’exploration
de « la machine humanisée ». Ce changement de perspective prolonge non seulement
son exploration de l’aliénation de soi, mais s’intéresse également à la manière
dont l’intelligence artificielle et le patrimoine numérique reconstruisent la mémoire
et les frontières émotionnelles humaines dans un contexte post-humain, favorisant
ainsi une « connexion » spirituelle plus universelle.
From May 8 to August 30, 2026, Yuz Museum is pleased to present Memory Machine,
the first solo exhibition in China by Thai artist Kawita Vatanajyankur. This exhibition also marks her first major institutional presentation globally in nearly four years. Featuring six representative works created between 2018 and 2025, it offers an in-depth survey of her
long-term observations and critical reflections on the continuous evolution of human labour.
In “Memory Machine,” her latest series commissioned by Yuz Museum, she pivots
her creative focus from “machinized human” to the exploration of “humanized machine.”
This shift not only extends her investigation of human self-alienation, but also delves
into how artificial intelligence and digital heritage reconstruct human memory and emotional boundaries within a post-human context, fostering a more universally spiritual “connection.”

À propos de l'artiste Kawita Vatanajyankur
Dans ses performances vidéo, Kawita Vatanajyankur utilise son corps pour interroger et questionner
les liens entre féminité, travail et consumérisme. S'appropriant les tâches répétitives et pénibles des objets domestiques et des outils mécaniques, elle fusionne l'humain et la machine et incarne le rôle d'un cyborg. Puisant dans un langage visuel mondialisé et connecté, celui de la consommation et de la gratification instantanée, ses vidéos captivantes évoquent des publicités commerciales audacieuses et colorées. Pourtant, la difficulté à les regarder rend ses œuvres ardues, témoignant ainsi de la force humaine
et de la résilience féminine.
the intersections of womanhood, labour, and consumerism. Assuming the repetitive and strenuous tasks
of domestic objects and mechanical tools, she hybridises human and machine and embodies the role
of a cyborg. Drawing from a globalized and digitally networked visual language of consumption
and instant gratification, her alluring videos bear semblance to bold and colourful commercial advertisements. Yet, her arduous works are difficult to witness, forming a testament to human capability and female resilience.
Kawita Vatanajyankur (b. 1987, Bangkok, Thailand) lives and works in Bangkok.
