A visual project made from old film negatives discovered in an out-of-business film lab.

Longing for a life beyond her hometown in the Thai province of Buriram, Ploy moves to various Southeast Asian cities in search of work. She ends up in Singapore as a sex worker at an illegal, makeshift brothel operating under the cover of a jungle’s leafy darkness that is eventually turned into a public park.

This film was made from hundreds of educational slides that belonged to the late Professor Somkiat Tang-namo, a pioneer of art aesthetics in Thailand and the founder of the first Thai virtual university for free public education. The educational slide, once a new educational medium, is now an obsolete one – a ghostly medium that hides memories of its time.
