From the inside, out
Life, Amitha Amranand, Published on 18/09/2014
» Sasapin Siriwanij stood defiant in the rain. In front of her was the shallow circular pool of Pridi Banomyong Institute courtyard, surrounded by shoes — boots, heels, flip-flops, sandals, trainers, flats, pumps. The actress was clad in a blood-red dress, her head crowned with a wig of the same shade. On top of the wig was a flimsy structure from which she slowly unfurled a scroll containing a collage of texts, in Thai and English — poems, song lyrics, official guides, government propaganda and campaigns — on beauty, especially female beauty. As she read the words, Sasapin went around the pool, placing her feet inside all the mismatched shoes. Her struggle was apparent, but it only made her actions and voice more defiant. She even fell into the pool, only to get up and continue her act until the end.

Rock ‘n’ roll at 60
Life, John Clewley, Published on 22/07/2014
» One of the best new bands I came across during my recent trip to the UK was the eight-member, London-based outfit, Ibibio Sound Machine. I picked up the band’s eponymously named debut album, which was released earlier this year on vinyl with an MP3 download included in the package, at Piccadilly Records in Manchester while I was trawling the racks and listening to some of my selections. I was very taken with the single released from the album, Let’s Dance (Yak Inek Unek). Soundway Records, better known for its reissue compilations, is the band’s label.

Mysterious skin
Life, Kong Rithdee, Published on 25/04/2014
» Like a trippy delirium, Jonathan Glazer’s Under The Skin, starring Scarlett Johansson as an alien siren who preys on men, sucks you into its black bile and keeps you transfixed. This is a 103-minute fevered dream, a delicious trance, and an eccentric commentary on humans’ skin-deep fascination with skin. It’s a fortunate accident that this art house sci-fi is getting a release in Bangkok, thanks not to the movie’s audacious aesthetics, but to the fact that it features a semi-nude Johansson — for marketers, that’s enough of a hook to cash in.
