Chulayarnnon Siriphol
[edit]Chulayarnnon Siriphol (Thai: จุฬญาณนนท์ สิริผล; b. 1986) is a Thai artist and filmmaker who employs moving images and his body as his main medium. He works across various genres, such as short films, performance video and video installations. Mixing local mythologies, Thai literature and science fiction, reflections on the body and spirituality serve to question contemporary culture and political ideology in Thailand and beyond with a mixture of sincerity and sarcasm. Recurring themes in his work are references to Thai literature and popular culture, such as the novel Behind the Painting (Thai: ข้างหลังภาพ) by Kulap Saipradit and a Golden Snail figure
Chulayarnnon has received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang and a Master of Fine Arts from Silpakorn University, both located in Bangkok, Thailand. His work has been included in large-scale international art exhibitions such as the Fukuoka Asian Art Triennale, the video and performance triennial Ghost:2561 and the Asian Art Biennial. His films have been screened at international film festivals and institutions, including Cannes Film Festival and Tate Modern.

The full name of ANG48 is ANGSUMALIN 48, which stands for the fictional organization ‘Alliance of Nippon Girls 48’. The film is a synthesis of archival materials of Asian film history from different countries. The result is an intelligent operating system of 48 digits which was born into a half-human half-golden-snail figure. The ANGSUMALIN 48 women have the role of building connections, spreading good relations and providing support for the alliance of Asian women in different countries to rise up and release their past pain since the WWII, the Cold War until today. The name of this operating system is chosen to commemorate and give honor to ANGSUMALIN, a Thai fictional character in Khu Kam, a novel by Thommayanti, who is an emblem of honesty, loyalty, and love to the homeland.
