Kedo is an artist, diviner, and co-founder and director of Tentacles, an independent art initiative and workshop studio based in Bangkok. Their practice moves between contemporary art, ritual, divination, and collective practices, exploring how people create meaning through memory, belief, relationships, and shared experiences.
Growing up in Surin, northeastern Thailand — known for its rich traditions of local magic, spiritual practices, and vernacular knowledge — Kedo developed an interest in the unseen systems that shape everyday life.
Since co-founding Tentacles in 2014, Kedo has worked across exhibitions, residencies, public programmes, workshops, and international collaborations, creating spaces for knowledge exchange and temporary communities. Their practice explores the space between the ordinary and the mystical, the personal and the collective, treating ritual as a living tool for gathering people, activating memory, and making sense of the world.
AnonymÆssage, 2016
Explores the unstable territory between treatment, torture, and sexual arousal, where acts of care become entangled with violence, pleasure, and power. Through the body, the work questions how these seemingly distinct states might coexist, overlap, and transform into one another.
Song of the Naga Cave, 2019
Engages with Southeast Asian mythologies, healing practices, and indigenous ontologies through a contemporary lens, tracing the continuities between ancestral knowledge and contemporary understandings of the body, nature, and the unseen.
Merchant Trinity, 2019
Examines desire, power, and geopolitical ambition through maritime infrastructure, wealth accumulation, and the pursuit of global influence. Using the pearl as a motif of desire and strategic ambition, the project explores the entanglement of infrastructure, psychology, and geopolitical power across Southeast Asia.
