About

✷Sutiphong Sudsang✷

Sutiphong Sudsang or Luang Khet (1999, Sisaket, Thailand) is a contemporary artist who grew up in a Khmer ethnic family in Sisaket Province. He received his Bachelor of Fine Arts in Art Theory from the Faculty of Painting, Sculpture and Graphic Arts, Silpakorn University. He currently lives and works in Bangkok.


His practice is interdisciplinary, with a strong interest in experimenting with diverse artistic techniques and media, including sound, image, installation, and interactive media. Through these forms, he engages with historical, political, and structural power dynamics in society by exploring collective memory, belief systems, and the lived experiences of people in marginal spaces—particularly within the context of Thailand’s Northeastern region (Isan).


Sutiphong’s approach focuses on examining the relationship between individuals and historical traces that have been omitted from dominant historical narratives. He documents these traces through documentary photography and field recordings, which later inform the interpretation and production of his artistic works.


Selected works include Ties (2022), which received the Outstanding Award in Photography at the Young Thai Artist Award 2022, and Phibun (2025), presented in the exhibition Merely Encountering the Evident at HOP – Hub of Photography, Bangkok.


In addition, Sutiphong collaborates as part of an artist duo under the name “PLERN VERN,” focusing on sound-based and musical practices. Their works include Kwan Oei Kwan Maa(2025), presented at the 2nd Phimai Long Week Art Festival, as well as ongoing live electronic music performances alongside their artistic practice.
