Vijchika Udomsrianan (b. 1989) is a Bangkok-based filmmaker and visual artist whose practice examines how systems of authority in Thai society operates through everyday culture. With a background in advertising and fashion, she works with internet culture and popular aesthetics to interrogate the political force of images that appear harmless, cute, or apolitical.
Situated within Bangkok’s rapidly transforming, media-saturated landscape, her work blends memes, idol culture, folklore, and traditional myths. Drawing on storytelling strategies such as children’s narratives, she employs allegory and dark humor to reveal how authority is naturalized through care and moral virtue while shaping gendered bodies, land and public space, and producing displacement, obedience, and conditional belonging.
She graduated from Chulalongkorn University and the School of Visual Arts. Her notable projects include the solo exhibition Fufu in Paradise (2024) at KICHgallery. A film presented as part of the exhibition was officially screened at the Berlin Kiez Film Festival 2025 and Athens Animfest 2025, receiving Best Experimental Film and a Distinction in the Experimental Competition, respectively.
