Tong Kosong, Nyaring Bunyinya, 2023 Installation; Used Alcohol Distillation Drums from Bekonang; Sticker Print on Paper; Single-Channel Video
Collective work: Gulung Tukar
Showed at Pekan Kebudayaan Nasional 2023 National Gallery of Indonesia
Inspired by Bekonang’s history, sites, archives, and stories, as well as the current development of the area, our project within the curatorial Sedekah Bumi Project seeks to encapsulate resilience from social, cultural, and economic dimensions. We use three used alcohol distillation drums as symbols of resilience that remain after a long process of management and transformation.
We invited artists and the general public to voice their ideas, concerns, and messages about collectivity through sticker media. This project, along with its accompanying activation, is an invitation to participate in broader discussions aimed at building and enriching strategies for sustainability and growth in the art scene.
