I’m very glad that THE INSANE got some votes in this poll. I hope Araya Rasdjarmrearnsook should be much more famous in the future. I like some monologues in THE INSANE very much. Some monologues in this video installation may be very funny, but I was surprised to find that some monologues of some insane female patients reveal that they share the same dream as me. THE INSANE made me realize that I’m not totally different from the insane patients. They are still human beings, and some parts of them can be found in us.
