In the exchange between the work and its audience, an intimate yet ephemeral space emerges, challenging the passivity between viewer and object. The sensory dimension of the exhibition takes precedence: sounds generated through touch disrupt the traditional museum gaze that separates objects from bodies. The artists reflect on the pressures of adaptation, and the dislocated experiences shared by Southeast Asian migrant women. The installation opens a site where the thresholds of existences connect and dialogue through the non-verbal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Nguy\u1ec5n + Transitory + Bussaraporn Thongchai - thres|hold (Collective Activation)\" width=\"525\" height=\"295\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oUdeSU6qWo8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Nguy\u1ec5n + Transitory + Bussaraporn Thongchai \u2013 thres|hold (Collective Activation)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nguy\u1ec5n + Transitory and Bussaraporn Thongchai, thres|hold, 2025Sound installation, synthesizer, etched copper, bronze Even before entering the exhibition space at KINDL, visitors can hear the sound installation thres|hold.
