Apichatpong Weerasethakul, as one of the most original filmmakers and artists of our time, has developed a distinctive language which
approaches fragments of life, from passing gestures to the great cycles, from the often occurring to the unseen, in arresting and compelling narratives.
Midori Matsui, the art critic who coined the term, has written that, «The expressions
of this new art thinks up new ways to use abandoned things, such as old legends and empty spaces, creating venues for communication... The term «Micropop» is used to describe the attitude or
approach to
life that creates an unique and original path
of living or aesthetics by combining
fragments gathered from various places, without relying on institutional morals or major ideologies.»
