Developed in response to a period marked by political uncertainty, environmental violence, and recurring public crises in Thailand, Nothing to See Here, Move Along Folks! examines how political and social instability becomes normalised through repetition and silence.
The work emerged from widely circulated events, including illegal trespassing into protected forests by political and economic elites, wildlife killings, and the consolidation of power following the coup d’état and the death of the Head of State. Rather than documenting any single incident, the piece brings together multiple moments into a shared field of attention.
The sound is constructed from fragments of broadcast news, media reports, and circulating recordings. These materials are layered and reassembled into a composite voiceover that weaves together overlapping narratives, rumours, and public discourses, revealing how power is mediated through everyday information flows.
Moving between stillness and disturbance, the video reflects a condition in which repeated crises no longer provoke collective response, but instead generate fatigue, resignation, and quiet compliance. Through this process, violence and injustice become familiar, gradually perceived as ordinary or inevitable.
By assembling fragmented media materials into a shifting audiovisual structure, the work treats sound and image as sites of memory and conflict. It traces how certain events are amplified while others are obscured, exposing the uneven processes through which collective consciousness is produced.
Nothing to See Here, Move Along Folks! positions artistic practice as a form of attentive listening and critical witnessing. Rather than offering solutions or spectacle, the work confronts the mechanisms through which power, silence, and normalisation operate in contemporary Thai society.
