Zoe Ilić’s practice explores materiality and mark-making as reflections of human connection and desire. the artist examines how images are constructed through the interaction of material and form, creating moments of tension, ambiguity, and stillness. The work captures a sense of distance between forms that appear to reach toward one another without ever fully connecting.

Statement

Panida Te Petchara is a Rotterdam and Bangkok-based artist-filmmaker. Through lens-based media and installation, she subverts everyday objects to interrogate capitalism, displacement, and the struggles of underrepresented communities. Her transition from the Thai media industry to an MFA in the Netherlands informs her study of migration and cultural complexity, navigating the tension between personal memory and collective consciousness.

GlogauAIR Project

My project, failing, falling, falling, stems from a recurring dream of falling teeth. In Thai superstition, this symbolizes familial loss, while in the Dutch context, it reflects social embarrassment. To me, it’s a symbol of losing one’s foundation, especially during the housing crisis. I’m not interested in the migrant-as-victim trope. Instead, I explore urban boredom through dream logic, using a pop fever dream aesthetic to rupture the bleakness of temporary housing. At GlogauAIR, I’ll research how social conditions shape migrant dreams to develop my script and experimental film.
