“As things float by, I know the moon will rise”, a pop-up screening program featuring moving image works from Thailand and Vietnam, developed by guest curators Pimpakaporn Pornpeng (Fahmui) and Hung Duong. 

“As things float by, I know the moon will rise”. A wishful declaration or a factual observation? A poetic afterthought or a mundane riddle? Sometimes, the power of words and visuals occupies the silent interstices that we miss in between frames, within the flick of an eyelash. As the world that we know enters a new, albeit much more volatile era, it can feel like things are crumbling. Foundations shake, institutions rise and fall, conflicts escalate while peace feels like a thorn bird hiding in the mulberry brambles. The moving images in this pop-up screening invite us into a quiet space of refuge, consolation, and dreaming. Here, realities dissolve into pieces, waiting to be reassembled anew. The program brings together artists from Thailand and Vietnam—Jeanne Penjan Lassus, Louise Lan Nguyễn Tiết Millot, Đỗ Văn Hoàng, and Trương Công Tùng—to engage in a dialogue around dreams, the void, and the sense of belonging. As things float by, we all know the moon will rise again.

On Saturday, April 18, 2026, we had the great pleasure of welcoming dear friends to the screening. Beneath the full moon, magic, speculative intuition and warm energy wove through each frame flip, drawing participants closer while opening space for discussion, reflection, and imagination.
