By Editor • August 14, 2026 • 1 min read
In Bangkok, the PiLLOW installation by artist Sitta Chandarawong, known as HOMMES.HOM, invites visitors into a unique sensory journey that reinterprets sleeplessness through a tactile environment. Drawing from personal experiences with insomnia, the exhibit features 48 pillow-like forms shaped after pharmaceutical tablets, each representing an hour of unrest.
The installation is enveloped in a deep blue carpet that extends across both the walls and floor, creating an immersive atmosphere that blurs the lines between different planes, echoing the stillness of night. Each plush, tablet-shaped pillow is crafted from a variety of textured fabrics and filled to provide comfort, encouraging visitors to sit, lie, or simply pause.
At the heart of the installation lies a prominent form labeled 'H169', named after the artist's initials and room number, serving as a focal point amidst the scattered pillows. By transforming the imagery associated with sleeping pills into soft, interactive elements, PiLLOW redefines the experience of rest, allowing for emotional exploration through its thoughtful spatial design. The exhibit is currently on display at MMAD MunMun Art Destination, offering a physical space for reflection and repose amid the chaos of sleepless nights.
