Installation
In the image of a paternal funeral fantasy, after seventeen long years since his death, the siblings, who have never been reunited before, finally organise their first meeting in order to talk about their father, their memories and their hopes for the future. They share stories from their childhood, comparing notes on what it was like to grow up with an absent father and wondering what their lives would have been like if he had been around.
Together they question the possibility of establishing a family relationship as strangers who have never met before and are unsure of what family love actually means.

Chayarat Ritaram, a Thai artist based in Roubaix and Bangkok, explores disappearance and ghosts in his video and photographic installations. After graduating from the École des Beaux-Arts in Nantes, he continued his training at Le Fresnoy -- Studio national des arts contemporains. His digital compositions create a dreamlike atmosphere, evoking absence, memory and traces.
