Filipino Artist TRNZ Brings Dreamlike Displacement to Bangkok this July
20250722 TRNZ Photo by TRNZ/Instagram

Filipino artist TRNZ has unveiled “Everything Was Where It Wasn’t,” a solo exhibition now open at the Tang Contemporary Art Bangkok in River City Bangkok. Running until Aug. 24, 2025 and curated by Michael Sena, the series of new paintings explores the fragile architecture of everyday life — where logic loosens, time folds in on itself, and the familiar quietly slips into the familiar. 

TRNZ’s signature aesthetic — clean lines and visual clarity inspired by Japanese animation and meticulous storytelling — delivers a poetic meditation on solitude and the emotional blurs of modern living. The works don’t ask for attention, but there is quiet persistence in them that invites stillness. Their emotional tone isn’t loud, but restrained — and in that restraint, the weight of each piece is felt with enduring intensity. 

A girl looking sideways with a pensive look on her face

Each scene feels suspended in time: where objects repeat, memories fragment, and meaning drifts in the gentle distortion of daydreams. Here, TRNZ’s characters do not speak; they pause. They are a mirror of ourselves as we try to navigate through the universal condition of modern life, where we are alone, yet profoundly connected in our isolation.

With “Everything Was Where It Wasn’t,” TRNZ gives a vision of life that is both gentle and unyielding. It is a portrait of our emotional world, rendered with remarkable clarity and sensitivity. TRNZ also invites us into this shared inner landscape, a space without linear time, where forms repeat and meaning slides, where everything is just slightly out of space. 

Paradoxically, everything is exactly where it wasn’t and yet where we recognize ourselves most clearly

“Everything Was Where It Wasn’t” is currently on view at Tang Contemporary Art Bangkok (Room 201-206, 2nd Floor, River City Bangkok) from Tuesdays to Saturdays, 11 AM to 7 PM, until Aug. 24, 2025.

Plae Kao: the Musical Reimagines Thailand’s Most Iconic Love Story
Plae kao Photo by Dreambox/Website

If you’re the kind of theatregoer who enjoys a good emotional wrecking, note down "Plae Kao" as your next must-watch. 

This August, Dreambox Theater breathes new life into one of Thailand’s most heartbreaking love stories — often called the Romeo and Juliet of the Thai countryside — through an immersive full-length musical retelling that promises original musical compositions, soaring vocals from a powerful ensemble, and emotional gut punches in every scene.

Adapted from the cult classic film "Plae Kao" (also known as "The Scar"), which itself was based on Mai Muangderm’s celebrated novel, this stage production transports you to the rice fields of 1930s Bang Kapi, where fate pulls young lovers apart just as quickly as it draws them together. 

Featuring music by Kaiwan Kulwattanothai, Suthee Saengsareechon, and Phudinan Deesawatmongkol, script and lyrics by Daraka Wongsirikul, and stage direction by Suwandee Jakraworawut, "Plae Kao" is both a celebration of Thai heritage and a universal story of love, loss, and longing.

At the heart of the story is Riam, a village girl whose innocent love for Khwan is complicated by old family feuds and social divides. When Riam is sold to a wealthy matron and swept into Bangkok's high society, she’s forced to choose between the glitter of her new world and the lingering hold of a love left behind.

The production features a standout cast including Khemawat Roengtham, Sayapa Singchu, and Radklao Amaradit, among others — each bringing raw vulnerability and dramatic depth to this beloved story. 

Tickets are priced between THB1,300 and THB2,600. You can purchase your tickets on Dream Box here. Don't miss out!
