Risograph Print: A Useful Ghost (Alternative Film Poster)

An alternative film poster for the Thai film A Useful Ghost (2025), directed by Ratchapoom Boonbunchachoke.

In this film, a ghost isn’t a terrifying figure, it represents lingering memories, history, and the heavy weight of longing. The story follows a female protagonist who returns to her loved ones, forever bound to a vacuum cleaner. This artwork captures that emotional warmth trapped inside a cold, mechanical loop, look closely at the endless swirling border, which is constructed from the vacuum pipe itself.

Originally created for the Asian Cinema Collective (organised by @by.third.party).

The Riso Charm

Risograph is an eco-friendly, stencil-based printing process. Subtle ink variations and slight registration shifts are natural characteristics of the medium, making every single print uniquely yours.

Care Instructions

• Handling: Riso inks do not fully set; handle gently by the edges to prevent smudging.
• Display: Keep out of direct sunlight (or frame with UV-protective glass) to preserve fluorescent colours.
• Storage: Store flat in a dry space to protect the paper texture.
