“Gelap di atas Gelap” (2023) is a site-specific painting projecting the shadows of visitors while enjoying the artwork in the exhibition space. The artwork will be created directly in the exhibition space after installing hanging light installations in the middle of the room to achieve shadow colors as close to reality as possible.
The distance between the light source, object, and background will influence the visual shadows that will form. The artist want to play with these aspects of distance and depth to produce more dynamic visual shadows.
When the exhibition is open to the public, the artist envision interactions between those entering and the shadow paintings I have created on the walls. This work is expected to bring an experience to visitors related to the existence of oneself as an individual as well as a social being; between the past and the present; between what moves and what remains still.
