BIOGRAPHY

Wantanee Siripattananuntakul is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans video installation, moving image, sculpture, and sound. Her work traces memory, elusive presences, and shifting political terrains, while increasingly engaging with more-than-human perception, cosmology, and the invisible forces that shape how we witness and endure. Working between Bangkok and international residencies, her practice reflects on the subtle entanglements between beings, materials, and histories. She is currently an artist-in-residence at Cemeti Art Institute, Yogyakarta, Indonesia.
