Parinda Mai

PARINDA Mai (มาย) is an artist-filmmaker born and raised in Thailand. Her art and filmmaking practice often constructs the female body as a sensual-sexual microcosmic lens through which the world is observed and revealed, at times marveled at, and at times examined. She privileges haptic visual expression that plunges the viewers into participation with muddy terrains of overlooked, unrecognised, misunderstood and forbidden energies.

Inspired by a Buddhist folktale Twelve Sisters, learned across multiple platforms as a child, her works from 2019-2023 reimagine and reinterpret the moral of the story in video installation, sculpture, performance and films. Blinded by Centuries stems from the same project, and was selected for the IFFR 2023 Tiger Short Competition.
