Be stronger than life, but can you be stronger than death? Death is certain, life is not. Life is transient, death is eternal. Death completes life. Dayeuhkolot, Bandung, West Java, 12 Jan 2018. #phoneonly #visualdiary
The city makes dreams come true. But also nightmares. So beware next time you close your eyes. Exercise caution not to get too comfortable with your dreams. Watch out for nightmares. Better yet, avoid sleeping. The city does not sleep, anyway. The city is not for dreamers, anyway. The city is never true, anyway. Jakarta, 9 Jan 2018. #visualdiary #phoneonly
After dark, the city changes as the people disappear. The light is soon coming, but the shadows remain. Sad stories and bad memories, broken hopes and shattered dreams. We have always walked along this path. Mindlessly, endlessly. Down the passage of time, where you become or cease to become. That is when we disappear. That is when the city changes. That is after dark. Yogyakarta, 7 Jan 2018. #visualdiary #phoneonly
Yogyakarta, 26 September 2017. My photo series “By the River of Love” (2011–2012) is on view during Fisipol Art Days at my former campus Fisipol UGM, through 30 September 2017. As an ‘alumnus’ I was invited to be a guest exhibitor, along with fellow Fisipol UGM alumni Akiq A.W., Jompet Kuswidananto, and T.A. Kusno. Thank you for this opportunity, curator Titah Asmaning Winedar and faculty staff Irham Nur Anshari. Congratulations for the exhibition and the whole event.
