Bundith PHUNSOMBATLERT (ACC 2007) will present an exhibition at Transmitter Gallery in Brooklyn, NY.

Transtrack transforms the idea of a train platform into a multisensory space where the voices of elderly immigrants recount life journeys, weaving an immersive landscape of sound, vibration, and oral history. The work amplifies overlooked immigrant voices—honoring those whose labor, like the immigrants who built the transcontinental railroad, remains absent from history. 

Along a line of vibrating speakers, memories ripple like passing trains. As the noise fades, gentle voices recall landscapes that shaped their journeys. This shifting soundscape reflects the emotional terrain of immigration, where the past is never still and stories unfold like landscapes passing a train window. Inside the space, a waiting area invites new recordings, connecting elders and younger generations through shared storytelling.

Building on Phunsombatlert’s community centered practice and ongoing exploration of oral immigration histories gathered from local elders, the exhibition invites participants from diverse backgrounds to share memories of landscape and migration, fostering moments of cross-cultural connection. More than an artwork, Transtrack is a living archive—preserving immigration memory through movement, sound, and presence.
