Jompet Kuswidananto
b. 1976, Yogyakarta, Indonesia
Terang Boelan (Moonshine), 2022 is a site-specific installation. The sea of glass shards with twinkling reflections recalls the vast boundless ocean. The imagery symbolises the infinite stories and historical narratives that have been forgotten, just as the unexplored depth of the deepsea. This is the sad truth of much of human history and culture. One of the recent events we may recall is the age of colonisation, when most people did not only loose their lives, but culture, language, and land. This is, of course true for Indonesia, who have been colonised by the West, including the Dutch, the French and the British Empire. With his magnificent installation, Kuswidananto reminds us not to forget what we have lost.
