What is the relationship with the cow inside the core of a yellow seed-studded fruit? That is for the viewer to ponder, although the artist Angki Purbandono may have more specific intention rather than a lark. The clue may have something to do with the presumptive title, The Last One.
Angki, no stranger to Henry Butcher, is known for his photograph-mediated art, particularly his scanographics, simply photographicimages created from scanning objects using a flat-bed image scanner. The scanographics first made its impact in his exhibition, Space and Shadows – Contemporary Art from South-east Asiaat the World Cultural House in Germany in 2005. He studied Photography at the Indonesian Institute of Arts in 1994-1999 and was the co-founder of the Ruang MES 56 Alternative Space in Yogyakarta, to advance contemporary photography. He was awarded the Asian Artist Fellowship at the Changdong Art Studio, South Korea, in 2006. |
