INSTALATIONS
KERSAN ART STUDIO / YOGYAKARTA / INDONESIA 2015

The material I chose for my exhibition are Indonesian everyday materials like bamboo and clay - in the form of jars and bowls, as well as a common Indonesian visual symbol language. In this way I hope both physically and mentally to engage in dialogue with the Indonesian spirit.

'FLOATING SOUL'

- The title 'Floating Soul' matches the experience I have of the Indonesian Soul in general. Indonesian soul takes life with a serenely as the hanging bamboo in my Installation 'Floating Soul'. Indonesians flowing quietly in a horizontal position with the flow and give in to strong external forces.

'SALT LIFE'

- The Eclipse of Life, 365 black sooty clay bowls, just as many as days in a year, bottoms up, so to speak - rooted up in a symbolic protest. Mahatma Gandhi led in 1930 a 400 kilometers long march to the sea to demonstrate against the government's salt monopoly, symbolicly a struggle for freedom. The salt of life.

'LIFE TIME / TIME LIFE'

Symbolic bamboo deathbed, facing west, toward Mecca, for an Indonesian rice farmer who slowly falls asleep with the 3 most important tools that were necessary for him and his family's survival through a long life.- Symbolic clay jar, life-tank slowly emptied and life is running out. Life is time and time is life.
