atmospheres transforms the industrial atmosphere of the King Mongkut’s Sathorn campus through film projection, live improvised music, and evocative use of light and architecture to create a sublime art experience . This visually stunning and memorable experience is conceived by U.K. based artist raphael jay adjani, and evolved through a collaboration with Thai based composer Rapeedech v. Kulabusaya, who produces the most haunting and exquisite live piano arrangement in response to not just the film projection, but the mood and atmosphere of the place and audience he encounters on the night.

atmospheres draws inspiration from the stupendous tantric cave temples of Ellora and Ajanta in India, the exquisite designs of Japanese architect Tadao Ando, the inter-active and immersive processes of the Japanese tea ceremony, and ideas of Vipassana meditation, to facilitate a sense of deep relationality of all phenomena, human and non-human, and of relationship to place and time.
