Exhibition 2018
A ten-meter-long darkroom painting created during a live performance. Three rolls of 10-meter-long light-sensitive paper were exposed to a choreography involving video projections, bodies, objects, and photographic negatives. The negatives originated from photographs taken in Central Java at locations known for being “haunted” by their colonial histories. This piece is a personal exploration of spirits connected to my own colonial heritage. Set to contemporary Indo-rock music, the darkroom choreography merges projections with my movements and ceremonial objects used to honor spirits and ward off evil.
