Luxury fashion house [Chanel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seasonal-boutique-in-sainttropez) continues to work in collaboration with Thai filmmaker Apichatpong Weerasethakul to unveil the impressive A Conversation with the [Sun](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunbleached-floor-lamp) show. It is a part of the 7th Bangkok Experimental Film Festival event which took place on January 24th at the One Bangkok Forum.

This also marks a special milestone which is the city's debut of the filmmaker's first augmented and virtual reality experience. The show blurs elements that define what is reality and what is a dream. He creates an [immersive experience](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/visionary-journeys) that dives deeper into the themes of light, memory, and existential cycles as a whole. The exhibition is also elevated further with the evocative soundscapes by Ryuichi Sakamoto and the digital artistry of Katsuya Taniguchi.
