Pitchapa Wangprasertkul

Throughout May 2026, Pitchapa Wangprasertkul will be in residence at Methone in Athens. During this time, she will pursue research and develop a project examining how tourism economies in Bangkok and Athens reshape culture to meet external expectations, transforming everyday life, displacing local practices, and eroding communities’ sense of belonging.

Pitchapa Wangprasertkul’s residency in Athens is developed in partnership with the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre (BACC), within the framework of BACC’s 8th Early Years Project (EYP#8).

Pitchapa Wangprasertkul is an artist working with performance and installation. Her practice explores both the exhaustion and resilience of modern life shaped by capitalism and ongoing economic pressures. Through her works, she reflects on the laborers’ attempt to survive within conditions of economic instability. Wangprasertkul’s performances often examine power relations and invite viewers into immersive situations, turning the act of observation into a collective awareness of the pressures of urban life.

She was first introduced to performance art at 19 as a facilitator for The Abramović Method exhibition at the 2018 Bangkok Art Biennale, and presented her first performance work in 2020. Her works include Things Left to forget & Things that stay, BACC, Bangkok (2025); Like water, Indonesia Bertutur Festival, Bali (2024) and her solo exhibition “Don’t Cry at Work” et Gallery VER, Bangkok (2024). Other performances include The Standard that was presented both at BACC, Bangkok (2022) and at Circuit Makati, Philippines (2026). Alongside her artistic practice, Wangprasertkul works in the Thai advertising industry, a parallel role that informs her perspective on the commercial system, labor and the living conditions of workers.
