Architect of the Self
Bangkok | Now – 31 May 2026

The six iconic Cells created by French-Israeli artist Absalon make their Asian debut in the Exhibition Description Without Place at Bangkok Kunsthalle, running until May 31.

Designed as a precise match for the artist’s body, the one-person dwellings are stripped of ornamentation and conceived more as spiritual architecture than functional homes.

Originally intended to be installed in several cities – including Paris, New York, Tel Aviv and Tokyo – the pieces challenge the very idea of home, identity and ownership. More than sculptural spaces, the Cells reimagine dwelling as a conscious practice, where solitude, restraint and spatial limits become tools for self-transformation and quiet resistance to life’s demands. The exhibition is curated by Stefano Rabolli Pansera.

Open: Wednesday to Sunday from 2pm to 8pm; Free admission; www.facebook.com/BangkokKunsthalle
