"LOOK KHUN NOO" By Charinthorn Rachurutchata
Look Khun Noo means privileged kids in Thai. The exhibition explores the theme of loneliness experienced by the children of wealthy Asian families who have been left to the care house employees.
Charinthorn courageously portrays the fear of growing up whilst facing the angst of having to become the next generation of emotionally and physically distant parents who in turn would try andmold their children to the illusory templates of the high society.
She compassionately shows how they experience being trained to behave like Pavlov dogs that respond to the social norms of their community, and how, in their training, they are being led by their Electra and Oedipus complexes. She does this through introducing the viewer to an almost schizophrenic defense mechanism. The children are pressured to rely on imaginary friends keeping them company and enabling them to bear the solitude in their homes. .
