Pratchaya Phinthong’s /|~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~||/|, 2025, at Bangkok CityCity Gallery, sp/n developed the project through the deconstruction and reassembly of the gallery’s existing glass window system into a water tank installation. The design began by carefully dismantling the original window components and constructing them back into a new spatial and material arrangement, allowing the glass to shift from an architectural enclosure into a vessel. Through this process, the work draws attention to transformation, labour, and value, while keeping the material continuity of the site present within the installation. Rather than introducing a separate display structure, the project works from what is already there, turning an existing element of the gallery into the basis of the work itself.
