Solo Exhibition - 8 – 22 July, 2017
REDBASE Foundation indonesia
You Are A Master at Capturing My Desire and Affection explores the eternal and universal union between the feminine and masculine divine grounded in an investigation of Indonesian mythology classical literature traditional dance and natural symbolisms centered around Yogyakarta The project positions the lush equatorial environment as a prime catalyst for erotics and fertility where the dynamic interplay of landscape from the volcanic power of Mount Merapi to the sacred waters of the South Coast mirrors the cosmic balance of Lingam and Yoni
Drawing deeply from Javanese court traditions and classical texts like the Panji tales the exhibition translates these timeless narratives of desire transformation and romance into a multi media visual presentation Key motifs include the symbolic colors of traditional Panji masks and the metaphor of melting palm sugar and batik wax which reflects the rhythmic movement of the sun and moon Ultimately the exhibition acts as a poetic bridge between local cultural heritage and universal human expressions of love passion and vitality
