direction, visual merchandising, object design and concept selling.
Opassuksatit oscillates between several media: print (digital and analogue), garments and accessories,
photography and film, objects and sculptures, as well as installation.
Her practice observes the routine behaviours and mundane daily actions of people, often in relation to
consumption, food, hygiene, love and sex.
Through various media, Opassuksatit reflects these observations back onto themselves, highlighting/exaggerating
the absurdity and humour of the everyday with an honest and sincere voice.
She considers herself a comedian.
“I miss Japan,” said PZ Opassuksatit, when asked about the inspiration behind “Throwback Thursday”.
Growing up in Bangkok, Opassuksatit was strongly influenced by Japanese pop-culture, J-POP music, manga and
PlayStation. “Throwback Thursday” was a collective of memory, simulation of the old-modern-day and homage to the
simplicity and beauty of the mundane daily action.
Happy Throwback Thursday everyone!
