Tulapop Saenjaroen, People On Sunday, 2020
People on Sunday is a program that focuses on leisure and the formation of artistic identities. It begins with the late Robert Frank’s apartment plot Pull My Daisy. This film, steeped in the frivolity of an artistic set, is an early comedic effort merged with improvisation, a cast of coterie, and a playful caricature of themselves. Nazlı Dinçel combines footage shot at Marion McMahon and Philip Hoffman’s Film Farm, and dryly instructs us on how to make a film in the digital age. Thirza Cuthand meditates on her gas mask fetish, the last film she made, and the 2019 Whitney Biennial. Walter Scott invents another character to navigate the tropes of vaguely given shits in the art world. Tulapop Saenjaroen’s People On Sunday speculates on the spurious collision between leisure, work, and contributing to a creative project. Mythologies are authored, adapted, adopted, and explained.
