Out of the different kinds of realities,
what I prefer is rarely the truth.
Installation sketch for Nous ne notons pas les fleurs, Jakarta (2010).

Nous ne notons pas les fleurs is a cycle of multi-form works exploring the ideas of mobility and the impermanence of political borders in contrast to the tendency to freeze them. The title of this cycle, Nous ne notons pas les fleurs, is taken from a dialogue in Le Petit Prince (de Saint-Exupéry, 1943), where a geographer tells the Little Prince that geographers do not record flowers because, unlike the earth, flowers are ephemeral.

Nous ne notons pas les fleurs, Jakarta (2010) is made with support from Potato Head and Ark Galerie. Thanks to Emmelyn Gunawan, Alia Swastika, Varadila Nurdin, Jefry Budi Mardianto, Gintani Nur Apresia Swastika, Elia Nurvista, Katherina Allo, Zakiah, and all participants.

The work is in progress and will be shown at Ark Galerie, Jakarta, in September. Please email me to receive an update.
