How to be a Ghost in Bangkok?
Jing Zhao
A trip through Thailand with her boyfriend is not happening; he has vanished. Jing Zhao transforms a painful experience into a surreal exploration that employs narrative fragments, gestures and experimental visual strategies. The frustration of being ghosted is combined with Southeast Asian ghost culture, providing the starting point for a satirical 10-step guide that reflects on meaningless communication and the fragility of relationships in the digital age.
