Installation view : Unreal Monument ( La Lanta Fine Art)

Unreal Monument by Rattana Salee Rattana devotes her practice to the medium of sculpture, constant engaging in a dialogue with a city space and a focus to the socio-political commentary of a particular cultural surroundings render her work to be a paradigmatic representation of an urban art oriented practice. In “Unreal Monument” exhibition, Rattana presents her point of view pertaining to public monument. A memorial or monument symbolizes the collective memories of people in a particular area using texts or statues as a vehicle. A memorial plays a role as a memory bank to remind us of people and circumstances at a certain point in time. Critically these recollections are directed and influenced by the champion of the time, leaving behind the other side of the story. The history is recorded, erased, and re-recorded depending on who is in power. The phenomenon of dismantling and modifying the old monuments as well as erecting a new monument signifies the paradox of this seemingly long-standing structure. We perceive the monument as an unchallenged narrative that will withstand the test of time but all-too-often we see the account of the story changed, altered, or even lost. The record of the story, though significant, is not permanent. The memorials that are aesthetically pleasing could present both the visible and invisible aspects of the recorded story. “Unreal Monument” will be on display from June 5 until July 14, 2021.
