Terra incognita
by Timotheus Anggawan Kusno
2022, 22’
Presented at the 16th edition of Lo schermo dell’arte, 2023
Film part of VISIO – European Programme on Artists’ Moving Images 12th edizione, 2023
Produced by the Han Nefkens Foundations-Loop Barcelona, 2022
The artist’s re-enactment of mass mobilization during the succession to the Indonesian regime is accompanied by a narrator’s recitation of an anachronistic poem. The production of this work of fiction reveals the overlapping and obscuring of memories, resulting in a cacophony of voices and distortion of memory.
Produced by Han Nefkens Foundations-Loop Barcelona.
