the man himself, Mr Harsono, writing his name in Chinese calligraphy



Is a fucking brilliant exhibition. Where memories of the May 1998 riots in Indonesia is translated into the various forms of media. The exhibitions had shown another perspective of the political, social and cultural changes of the Indonesian society through the eyes of Mr Harsono.
The exhibits did sent chills and sadness down my heart, telling me how beastly and short sighted humans can be....






my pick from his exhibition:

Titled : Voice without Voice ( 1993-1994)
