In this homage to Menschen am Sonntag (1930), the watchful surveillance of the camera captures the paradox of actors trying to relax while working.

Tulapop Saenjaroen, who holds an MFA in Fine Art Media from the Slade School of Art and MA in Aesthetics and Politics from CalArts, is an artist and filmmaker based in Bangkok. His recent works interrogate the correlations between image production and production of subjectivity as well as the paradoxes intertwining control and freedom in late capitalism. In the combined narrative and essayistic manner, he lately investigates on subject matters such as tourism, self care, and free labor through re-making and re-reading the produced images and their networks. Saenjaroen’s works have been shown in exhibitions and screenings internationally including Locarno Festival, International Film Festival Rotterdam, International Short Film Festival Oberhausen, Images Festival Toronto, Image Forum Tokyo, Curtas Villa do Conde, Asia Culture Center Gwangju, 25FPS Zagreb, Kasseler DokFest, Vancouver International Film Festival, Harvard Film Archive, BACC Bangkok, 100 Tonson Gallery, Display Gallery Prague, Seoul International New Media Festival, Moscow International Biennale for Young Art; and won awards from Winterthur, Jakarta, Moscow, and Thailand.
