The Death of Chikun

Presented by Cheryl Ho as part of Resonates With Residency (Work In Progress 1)

National Gallery Singapore

Responding to the Artwork How to explain Art to a Bangkok Cock by Apinan Poshyananda

The Death of Chikun follows a girl’s meandering thoughts after the death of a neighborhood chicken. It explores perception, how to “human” in today’s age and what life could be if we chose to slow down and live deeply.

It is a semi-autobiographical reflection on the stories we tell ourselves about who we are. Examining distorted self-perceptions and expectations that shape our narratives and how we understand our relationship with the world.
