PCAI collection artist Korakrit Arunanondchai presents the exhibition ‘The Blood of the Earth’ at Consortium Museum, in Dijon, France.
Curated by Franck Gautherot & Seungduk Kim the exhibition will be on view until May 2026 and occupies the large white cube of the Museum.

The artist imagines the blood of the earth as a painting, a stage, and a film without an image. Unlike the void of the cinema constructed by darkness, the white cube constitutes a different kind of void. A sprawling cracked surface with a prayer text sculpted from the ground forms a rectangle bordered by a looped litany: The Blood of the Earth, Connects us all in the landscape of mourning, The sky drenched in flames, The sun of consciousness, Will recreate this world, With unanswered prayers, Let there be splendor, Beyond the upheaval, Love after death, A song to survive reality, The Ghost takes us by the hand, Decompose…
