Who do the caricatures in this Zulkifli Yusoff’s work represents? The ‘alim’ fornicator, the corrupted judge, the unscrupulous businessman, the lazy lecturer (‘Professor Katak’), the ‘sick’ politician… With the violently disfigured visages, the characters can’t be any good, and in pairs, it’s worse. The two are either colluding on some schemes (only to stab each other in the back later) or quarrelling over the most trivial of things, or capitalizing on the power of numbers (even if only two). These figures are an offshoot of Zulkifli’s bandaged figures and chess tin pieces when he broke into the mainstream with his Major Award in the 1988 Young Contemporary Artists competition in 1988.
