About the Residency
“It begins with the question of what is home and territory and who the native is. During this one-month residency in December at Rimbun Dahan, I tried to grasp a sense of inter living-space between the house (Rumah) and nest (Sarang), an intimate dialogue among inhabitants (humans, plants, and animals) in the canopy of rain and forest darkness that I tried to reflect into a series of drawings and one video-art work.”
