Meet TNMAS Artists 2021:

The Absolute Oblivion is one of our selected artists for TNMAS Open Calls - "Call for Projects" 2021. The duo artists, Korean saxophonist/improviser Jung-Jae Kim and Pakistani animator/visual artist Syed Hasan Abbas's project will be featured during TNMAS 2021 Week on the 17th of December at Bangkok Art and Culture Centre 4th floor - Studio Room.

𝐀𝐛𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐞 𝐎𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐧 (AO) is an experimental performance duo in Bergen, Norway that creates live visual storytelling and musical experience. It was formed by Korean saxophonist/improviser Jung-Jae Kim and Pakistani animator/visual artist Syed Hasan Abbas in 2018. AO's performance involves improvisations between sounds and visuals. One-half of the duo, Jung-Jae Kim, a musician works with various alternative sounds of saxophone and electronics. And the other half, Syed Hasan Abbas, a visual storyteller works with hand-drawn images and live video editing. We communicate with each other through our respective audio and visual creations based on our unique story, and consequently influence each other’s output throughout the performance. Since 2019, AO has been active in live performance and online streaming in Norway and Scandinavia includes collaborations with other musicians and artists.

[Project Description]
The title of the story by AO is Plague, which primarily explores corruption of “human spirit (soul)”, i.e. loss of innocence, which can happen during the pursuit of individual needs and societal expectations in a subjugating environment. In other words, Plague explores the realities of human experiences in relation to often challenging societal structures and imposing physical world. Consistently, Plague aims to add to the understanding of the complex nature of human existence by symbolically exploring the cycle of life in three stages: (i) elixir of life (birth and infancy), (ii) melody of joy (youth and adolescence), and (iii) chaos foreshadowing an everlasting silence (adulthood and death). The audio and visuals in AO’s performance of Plague are aimed to evoke spectators’ personal experiences and inspire profound reflection on what it means to retain “human spirit” in the journey of life.
