Sasiwimon Paosanmuang l Beam
b. Thailand, 1997
Sasiwimon is an interdisciplinary artist and architect with a focus spanning art, architecture, and spatial practice. She graduated with a Master of Arts in Situated Practice at The Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL. The multidisciplinary practice examines the relationship between conceptual spatial theories in art, architecture, performance, urbanism, and writing. Through her studies, Sasiwimon investigates and experiments with various approaches, including essay film, performance, and intervention, to address specific spaces and issues related to society, politics, and the environment.
Originally from Thailand, Sasiwimon previously worked as an architect at Vin Varavarn Architects Ltd. (VVA) in Bangkok, an architectural firm renowned for its innovative and practical design. She holds a Bachelor's degree in Architecture from the School of Architecture, Art, and Design at KMITL, Thailand. Following her graduation, she contributed to the development of the public realm for Bangkok Design Week 2021, which enhanced her professional skills in collaborative work with landscape studios, organisations, and local communities. Sasiwimon is committed to continuous learning and seeking challenges in new contexts. Her achievements include multiple awards, such as an Honourable Mention in the 2021 Thesis of the Year competition organised by ASA and CDAST, a Recognition Award in the Floating Pavilion on the Drava River Competition in Maribor, Slovenia, organised by Outsider Magazine, and an Honourable Mention in the MT Design Award 2022, organised by Modern Tage in Bangkok, Thailand.
Currently, Sasiwimon is committed to cross-disciplinary artistic practices. She utilises art as a tool to narrate and reflect on the relationship between built and unbuilt environments. Her work has been featured in several group exhibitions and festivals, including MICROACTS Artist Film Screenings 2025 in London and the Magikal Charm Experimental Film Festival in New York. She also led a participatory workshop for the Paris Biennale in Bangkok 2025. She continues to develop site-specific works through film, poetry, and spatial exploration across London.
