UP AGAINST THE WALL: Nuttapon Sawasdee

Up against the wall by Nuttapon Sawasdee is a 1 Hr 14 minutes long re-production video of a scene from a widely known film the “Full Metal Jacket” by Stanley Kubrick in which the artist plays as Private Pyle in a one-minute scene in the film. The video is shot in slow motion which extends the one minute scene to an hour long. The sound is remixed by the artist. Nuttapon contemplate the situation in this scene as something that is not so different from what have been happening in the real world. Whether it is the society under dictatorship, within the art scene, or ranks in any class system, possibly, people like Private Pyle will continue to exist.
