Non-chronological History is an installation with multiple slide projectors, each slide presenting names associated with Thai political events since 1932. As its title suggests, the names are reshuffled out of chronological order to emphasise the interconnections of history and to speculate how one’s (in)actions may have had unexpected ripple effects.
