Group Exhibition : “On a Quiet Day, I Can Hear Her Breathing”

Arief Budiman is an artist and filmmaker based in Yogyakarta. He often uses moving images and media art in his work. In recent years, Arief's artistic practice has been closely linked to the internet, archives, and collective memory related to the history of violence of Indonesia. According to him, archives and technology are some instruments that can open up other possibilities in reading past events. Through this instrument, Arief created an alternative history to the established narrative and created a counter-narrative through the memories of people who had been absent and taboo to talk about.

Enka Komariah , Born in 1993 and living in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The strength of Enka's work lies in the paper which is transformed into various mediums and imaginative narrative as the main idea in the work. Enka often plays with various satirical and ironic symbols as well as playing with the blurry boundaries between taboos and norms in society's view. Enka's interest in cultivating her own identity, which is based on an agrarian Javanese tradition and juxtaposing it with contradictory popular cultural images, has become a distinctive character in Enka's work.
