Photographer and filmmaker Luo Yang’s latest project spotlights two young people in Thailand to tell their stories.
“We don’t need to stay within the frame dictated to us by conservative-thinking people, who tell us we must do certain things to be accepted by society.” Kwanta is discussing the pressures of the gender binary on young people, particularly in Thailand, China, and South East Asia, in Luo Yang’s new short film, titled 女孩 / Girls – in which she appears in. Premiering today, Yang delves into her visual universe in this five-minute short. Produced by moonduckling films, Yang appears in interviews alongside footage of two women she photographed in Thailand whose voices are also heard. It’s a natural extension of Yang’s photo series of the same name, GIRLS, which was first featured on Dazed in June 2018. A document of women’s coming-of-age in China, the series received wide acclaim, including from Ai Weiwei, who named the artist one of the “rising stars of Chinese photography” and showcased her work in his 2013 exhibition, FUCK OFF 2.
