Wantanee Siripattananuntakul is a multidisciplinary artist working across installation, moving image, sculpture, and research-based practice. Her work examines political memory, economic structures, and historical displacement, while increasingly engaging with interspecies perception and cosmological inquiry.
Working between Bangkok and international research and residency contexts, she develops long-term projects that trace how power and environment shape perception, movement, and collective experience. Her work has been developed through extended research periods in Germany, China, France, Japan, and Indonesia.
