Zona Futuristic Collaboration Work

Zona Futuristik is my first collaboration exhibition with Agra Locita, she's a photographer and she's my best friend. She lives next door to my house, we have a lot of common, we are Javanese but born and raised in Jakarta, we are alienated, we loves Psi-Fiction movies, we share and discuss a lot of things about future, we imagine how the future will be, how's the architecture, how is the culture and how is the influence of modernization in postmodern city. Agra's photographs exposing, lines, patterns and colors of fragmented urban architectural and public space, and me as painter response it with my color, brushes and beads collage, and the result is voila.. a creative dialogue between a photographer and a painter. this is our experiment, exploration and our playing zone this is our futuristic zone.

The Period of Extraterrestrial (2012)

In the beginning of 2012 i realize that all this time the figure of alien was always appear on some of my work,  i remember mid-2011 i plan to make an alien costume for "sehari boleh gila" day at PPS ISI Yogyakarta, but ultimately failed because I was too idealistic, I tried to sew it by my own and it doesn't fit me so i wear santa claus costume, and i remember that on the period of cultural confusion i create one painting that describe a metamorphosis of Javanese woman into modern woman into alien, to be honest i don't like the visual result but i like the way i explain myself through this figure. And i remember one night on 1985 on petukangan, Jakarta Selatan when i was a child me and my sister saw something amazing in front of our yard, we saw two small robots with colorful blinking lights outside of our window and we still remember it untill now. Some people say that we were dreaming, we were imagining too much, but what we see is what we believe. Well i don't want to force people with what we believe, what i know since that time the figure of alien and ufo became important to us and it inspire me in many of my work. not in the context alien as an alien but it more personal. i choose alien as my cultural identity conflict as an urban people. i don't know why i feel free to express myself with this figure, i feel it so me and i don't care anymore if people thinks i'm crazy or delusional, the most important thing is that i become more honest with my work. i become more playful, i just want people to enjoy my work with any interpretation they can think of. So here i am standing on my extraordinary territory, extraterrestrial. that's all for now.. to be continued..

The period of cultural confusion (2011-2012)

At the end of 2010 is the beginning of re-inventing myself, mid-2011 I get a chance to go to Yogyakarta, according to my parents it was the place where my ancestor (from my mom) came from. it was a great opportunity for me to continue my masters studies in ISI Yogyakarta, at the same time it's an opportunity to find answers about my cultural confusion. i remember on my period of womanhood conception, i make one painting that question about my Javanese cultural heritage, i was confuse of who i am, as a person with Javanese bloodline why i don't understand about Java at all, about Javanese woman, Javanese patriarchy concept, Philosophy, etc. So then on 2011-2012 i make 3 works that represented my question about culture itself, and the conclusion that i got is that i am standing nowhere surpass from Java and modern culture, i realize that i am alienated, i am alien.
