Archipelago Cinema: Thailand’s Flying Film Theater

German designer Ole Scheeren designed and set up a truly awe-inspiring sailing movie for the first version of a new movie celebration, "Film on the Stones Yao Noi" in Nai Pi Lae lagoon on Kudu Isle. archipelago Theatre, as it was known, contains a sailing display, cradled between two massive rocks and a rich forest tapestry. Vessels brought occurrence participants to a individual sailing audience providing a religious and exclusive movie experience.
Beijing-based Scheeren created his design after regional fishermens' seafood rafts. The wooden made supports were linked up by plastic bands to memory space-age foam prevents and sailed in the lagoon "almost like driftwood." He desired to make "a feeling of temporality, of randomness" where the parts playfully registered together. The flip rafts, generally constructed, were used to duplicate a sailing archipelago of islands within the lagoon. Unfortunately, upon the festival's summary, the rafts were taken apart, reconfigured, and recycled by the regional fishers.

Scheeren described the project:

A display, situated somewhere between the rocks. And the audience… sailing. Flying above the sea, somewhere in the center of this amazing space of the lagoon, targeted on the going pictures across the water. A surroundings of parts playfully registered together. A feeling of temporality, randomness. Almost like flow wooden. Or maybe something more structural. Clam shell parts, generally constructed, like a list of little islands. A members of rafts as an audience. archipelago Theatre.
