At the '2024 4th Jeju Biennale Seoul Press Conference' held today at SeMA Hall, Seoul Museum of Art, the second featured artwork video was unveiled.

The second major work to be unveiled at the Jeju Biennale during the press conference is a video piece by Thai artist Jakrawal Nilthamrong. Jakrawal's work, Rhizome (2023), tells the story of a man living on a raft with a sick woman in a simulated world made of water.

The video begins in the microcosmic realm of fungi and guides the audience through a mythological narrative (a milking cow) to a civilization on an artificial island drifting across the ocean.

Notably, Thai artist Jakrawal Nilthamrong has received the Tiger Award at the 44th Rotterdam International Film Festival (2015) and the Grand Prize at the 22nd Tokyo FILMeX (2021).

He also participated in the 2014 Seoul Mediacity Biennale. The 2024 4th Jeju Biennale will open on November 26 and run until February 16 of next year.

It will be held across five venues, including the Jeju Museum of Art, Public Storage in Jeju Contemporary Art Museum. You will be able to experience a diverse range of genres and forms from 40 artists (or teams) from 14 countries around the world. We look forward to your continued interest and support! :)
