How to be a ghost in Bangkok? by Jing Zhao | THA, GBR | 9'47''

After being ghosted by a romantic partner during a trip to Bangkok, the artist situates a contemporary act within a timeless SouthEast Asian cultural gesture, transforming personal heartbreak into a surreal exploration of ghosthood while reimagining its embodiment through ten playful yet haunting guidelines. Shifting between satire and introspection, the film contemplates the fragility of relationships and the futility and opacity of communication in the hyper-connected digital age.
