Plastificial

First artisan Artworks.
Describing the word "Selamanya" (ever after, forever, eternal ) as a theme.

.

Title : Plastificial
When Ken met Barbie in 1961, they always stand for each other.
Fashionably updated but never gets old and always look the same.
Well, i believe eternal is a word that only belongs to God.
But what does it mean for a human being?

Eternal = artificial?
Eternal = a fake promise?
Eternal = sucks?
Hmmm..

Sekar Larasati Lookbook 2011
Photography by Yogi Kusuma

.

The first collection of Sekar Larasati, A Journey to the East, stand as bold interpretation of how east meet west in the 21^st century. In this collection, rather than stand in the pure distillation of one culture, she prefers to mix ethnicities, traditions and modernity as her concept. By infusing the form and structure of western silhouettes with colorful batik prints, she creates a refreshing take on womenswear for the fashion forward woman.

This collection encompasses the whole spirit of Sekar Larasati as a risk taker, fun loving and adventurous person. Bold, unconventional and off-beat as it sounds, it is in line with the brand’s personality.

- Foreword from Sinta Savitri of Altamira -

I do not like people.

"Im not gay, my look just to piss off some sceptics,
so they can leave me alone."
.

.

I enjoy being alone or having pep talk with
only few trustworthy people in calmer circumstances
rather than facing fake people
who just wanna talk about themselves and their famous friends.

Hate, its a privelege.
So, i will not blame you at all..
..for hatin' on me.

"What these magazines gave was a point of view.
Most people haven't got a point of view;
they need to have it given to them-and what's more,
they expect it from you"

( Diana Vreeland, Vogue Editor in Chief 1963 -1971 )

... and she was fired then.

.

i do need more..
i do had enough of those published references..
i still believe lots of our photographer is artists, not a drafter..
i do miss seing spreads inspired by our natural behavior, culture,whats real..
i do miss seing spreads that photographing people, as people.

-par ygksm.

.

Semua terjadi KARENA saya dihajar oleh bapak hebat
hingga saya collapse dan berbaring lama di kasur busa semu.
Sejak itu saya menganggap proses (selama ini) sebagai
sebuah penemuan fundamental yang berarti untuk
mendambakan -par akan saya, untuk terlampir digdaya di media.
Ternyata, akh.. tidak sebegitunya. Ha.haa.ha.

"Ha ha, Setiap pengalaman adalah bahan untuk di tertawakan nantinya,
mari hidup dengan guideline sendiri, bukan atas perintah editor edisi september",
kataku sambil menyeka mimisan ini.

KARENA itu bukan alasan. Cliche ini tuntutan.
Dan teruntuk saya, cukup teruntuk saya..
Saya akan tetap melayani tanpa ekspresi keluh.
Saya itu pelayan. Iya, saya menghamba, tapi..
dengan cara saya, kepada tuan bernama Bapak Kusuma.

.

"Gila!", kata mereka.
dan pada akhirnya saya di benci -nya -nya dan -nya.
hmkay, selamat senang semua!!

Nobuyoshi Araki by Agan Harahap

2010-06-28T18:11:00.006+07:00

The artist // agan harahap

Ada beberapa alasan kenapa saya meminta
seorang agan harahap untuk membuat artwork/lukisan
di dinding tempat saya berkerja.
Salah satunya adalah karena saya tahu kami pasti
akan berdebat dan saling memaki untuk mendapatkan
titik temu dalam berkreatifitas.
Dan sebagai yang paling legowo dan dewasa,
terpaksa saya mengalah menuruti kemauan disertai
rengekan teman saya satu ini untuk menggambar
cuma salah satu dari empat artist yang
saya minta sebelumnya.

........

Bapak Nobuyoshi Araki.
Saya menyukai karya seseorang berdasarkan pengalaman
yang di alami oleh artist yang saya sukai.
Dan bapak Araki saya pilih karena buat saya dia
seseorang yang bisa menjaga taman bermainnya secara
konsisten dari gangguan pihak lain yang membawa
tumpukan text book akan artian seni kontemporer yang menjual.

Iya, malam minggu kemarin (260610),
di sertai sesajen berupa ikan bakar, bir berbotol2,
dan djarum super, sahabat saya rela meluangkan waktu sibuk
serta merelakan badan lelahnya untuk membuat
sesuatu di tempat saya berkerja yang baru.
Begini kisahnya...

Terima kasih banyak bapak Agan Harahap.
Anda Bangsat yang baik.
Ditunggu 3 artist lainnya di sisi kanan dan kiri bapak Araki.

.From Sri to Sophie

2010-03-26T23:41:00.007+07:00

Sri was looking for a job. An honest job.
A long journey from her village, Cirebon.
He met Jono (he changed his name to John), a friend from her village.
He is the one that Sri parents trusted (and paid) to take care of Sri
and to get her a job. "You will become a waitress in Batam, Sri.
But first you must perfect your english languange skills
and need to change your appeareance.
From now on, youre name is Sophie", said John to Sri.

And the story goes on.....
Sophie now became a star in Taiwan. There`s no longer Sri.
There`s only Sophie dancing in a pole...
with a dead soul.

"UNICEF estimates that 100,000 women and children are trafficked annually for
commercial sexual exploitation in Indonesia and abroad, 30 percent of the
female prostitutes in Indonesia are below 18, and 40,000-70,000 Indonesian children are victims of sexual exploitation. The East Java Children’s Protection Agency estimates that at least 100,000 women and children are trafficked annually from, through, and to East Java.

Indonesian women and children are trafficked for sexual and labor exploitation in

.a millimeter slide

- another thoughts and words vomiting -

I`m a narrator for my own path.

Recently, i have some issues that really flucked me upside down.
And now i found a new perspective for seeing things.
Things changed, neither did i. And those changes are made for a reason.
Being good or bad, being more or less, or even maybe being something that people judged
coz things that i left behind. Hmmm.
For now, i see things can be so different just by sliding a bit of focal length
on my pupil by a milimeter, and things will be look much so different in my thoughts.
Just a bit slide.. just a milimeter distance..
O dear Lord, im starting to get exhausted for doing radical act.
Hmmmmm. Hmmmm. Hmmm. Hm.

This is about meaning things.
This is about a way of seeing things.
This is about me and my perspective.

And from what i`ve been through.. being grey and alienated its a choice.
I am Me.
Just a bit.. not too much.

.friends and vision

2009-12-07T16:15:00.004+07:00

Im tryin to observe what the duck they were thinking.
Tryin to be them for a while. Exercising my vision as a third person.
I dont care if what im saying is completely false.
I still believe that my friends will take this thing easy.
Maybe a slap in my head, but after that,
beer and booze will take care this issues. (hopefully)

And its all about vision and destination.

.....

Hello. My name is Andries Sembiring.
I work for one of the Goverment Department as a journalist.
Right now, im in the biggest station in jakarta, Gambir station.
I dont want to go to anywhere. Different routes that i saw is just like a fake plastic dreams that lead you to nowhere. I am me. I still do have friends to share stories and booze while talking about poverty issues. I enjoy the moment when my girl phoned me every 2 hours just to check where the hell am i. Its all that matters.

.....

Hello. My Name is Agan Harahap.
People know me as an visual artist than my job as a journalist in one of music magazine in jakarta.
Right now, im in the national monument (Monas). Its a symbol for Jakarta city.
I want to conquer this city, this nation, through my work. I put all my nerves to work on something that make people will argued things that i do. Art is a grey thing to do and to be judge. People used to think that im a stubborn and antisocial artist. But the hell, i am what i am. Its all that matters.

.Falling in Love

2009-12-03T19:16:00.005+07:00

I just felt, that im falling in love.
Gold afternoon was a perfect scene in the past several days.
She made me wake up with bumping her ass in my face.
She ate everything that looks colourful around her,
but my nose is her most favourite thing to bite (now i knew that my nose quite red, thx love).
And around 8pm she fall a sleep in my lap while im doing my work.
For now, in my phase to be a better man, that is a bliss for me.

Im OK.
Guu gu Bahh BaGu Ga gaahhh.
Do we look alike? *hmfmfmmfmf*

.Rest

2009-12-02T22:08:00.002+07:00

My art is the diary of my journey. I make a scene and captured it as an image based on what did i do, why its happening, how it affected, and i did certain things, try to solve it. Right now i think about misery, sickness, desperation, death, and all those fucked up things which we can not ignored. Why i think about those sad things? maybe because i forget the pleasure of it. I do things, but i do realized that its not great either. Although it looks allright back then, its actually just scraps, a shite.

Things that i have, I just got it, play it for a while, then i`ll lose it, and its gone forever, and some of them make a word of regret. Hmm.. after that things happen, i just make another reason as an purpose of my life journey. Try to prove to my self that im a man of steel. Just prove it to my self, not to someone else coz i dont rate compliment, for me it just a symphaty act.

And right now, part of me is sick and dying. And i think, if it going away dor good, it wont coming back again. Yes, for this one, i`ll not make a reason to reincarnate another line. I`ll just let it go, coz i know this one have not a subtitute. Not even methadone, alcohol, sigur ros, jim carrey, and even best guru in town will cure this part. Ahh mate.. You did care, you did love, you did sacrifices, but one think that seemly you forget is how to take that kind of responsibility. Have a nice sleep mate.. dont dream, later you`ll hurt, again.

.............

And in the end, i just say to my self that im not that fucking stupid
and i know that everything will be just fine.

.dailys way

2009-11-25T00:57:00.005+07:00

Mark Rent-Boy thoughts that approximately
cross in my mind couple of hours a go :

"I don't feel the sickness yet, but it's in the post. That's for sure. I'm in the junkie limbo at the moment. Too ill to sleep. Too tired to stay awake, but the sickness is on its way. Sweat, chills, nausea. Pain and craving. A need like nothing else I've ever known will soon take hold of me. It's on its way."

Its a linear way between me and Rent-Boy..
the different is only the prescription and the way those things affected.

.reason one

2009-11-23T21:26:00.002+07:00

And yes, like my note before i really screwed up. Yes i screwed up again and right now what did i do its affected to other people feelings. Rage, regrets, and words full of emotions stabbing my lungs just like 2012 prophecy. The question is, why did i do it? i could give a million answers, all false. The truth is, im such a bad person.

And 7 and a half hour a go i stil stand for my line that "i`ll choose for living my life with no reasons". But after couple of hours thinking about the haha-haha thing in that such grey psychadelic limbo that will cheer me up, lighten my night and so felt whatever for tomorrow, a nice laugh from across the door shoot me up like a nuclear blast on my brain and lungs. And she just ate and lick my nose then peeing on my bed. "Gaabuu Gaaa Miii omm Booo...", she said. And now i felt that i have reason for living my life with fill with reason. And i found one just right now.. i believe there will be more..

Yes, im such a bad person for now..

But thats gonna change, im goin to change. I`ll be a better person. Im gonna moving on goin straight and choosing life. Im looking forward it already. Im gonna be just like you. The job, the family, fckn big lcd television, washing machine, the car, my own coffee machine, good health, low colesterol, life insurance, junk food, choices of cardigans , and jeans, cold granite floor, wooden wall, walks in the park, checking daily job emails, childrens, good housing wife...

.playground

2009-11-21T21:21:00.002+07:00

Every man have a secret little playground that no one knows where it is and not even his love of his life will had a permition to enter and able to play together. That secret little playground is a place that a man can be himself without worrying what will others say to him. He can laugh till his belly shaked, cry like a year old losing pacifier, angry till green and swearing like downtown ghetto, jump while vomiting like a drunkard nascar fan, in this secret little playground. A Man can be or do anything in his secret little playground.

Right now, with all things that been through lately.. im playing death, in my secret little playground. And i let you know about that and i dont know why..

Maybe because im not man enough to have a little secret playground.. so this will be only called a fake playground.. or maybe, there will be less of secret.. more things to say as a person..

so grey.. so heavy.. so blur..

oo.. i forgot...
im playing death right now..

.devilinside

2009-11-15T19:07:00.002+07:00

Ditujukan kepada saya sebagai sebuah usaha rekonsiliasi pembenahan diri karena telah mengkhianati kata "percaya" beberapa waktu lalu, dan coba berbesar hati terima kata campak dan tak diindahkan. Pilu, tapi memang ini harus dijalani untuk semoga baik kedepannya.

"I trust people. I just don't trust the devil inside them"

Kepercayaan adalah hal yang sensitif untuk begitu saja diabaikan. Kita tak akan pernah tahu identitas seseorang dibalik topeng senyum kesehariannya. Wajah yang kasat mata bisa jadi hanya merupakan topeng untuk menunjukkan sebuah kesan dan pesan untuk lawan bicara, yang dibuat karena menyesuaikan tempat, waktu dan siapa lawan bicara kita agar menimbulakn impresi dan persepsi yang dikehendaki, dan menjadi hal yang menakutkan jika kita mengetahui apa yang ada dibalik wajah klise tersebut.

Kepercayaan terhadap seseorang bukanlah sesuatu yang bisa didapatkan dengan instan, butuh waktu berbulan-bulan, atau mungkin tahunan untuk membentuknya. Emosi yang rapuh yang dikombinasikan dengan sifat dasar manusia yang butuh orang lain untuk hidup membuat kepercayaan menjadi hal yang sensitif dan abu-abu.

Setiap manusia saya percaya punya rahasia kecil yang disimpan dalam ruang sempit yang dijaga sedemekian rupa hingga orang lain tidak ingin mengetahuinya. Dan penjaga ruang sempit tersebut bisa menjadi malaikat pelindung atau bahkan menjadi iblis antipati rasa sosial. Secara tidak sadar kita bisa saja menggunakan salah satu dari mereka sebagai siasat untuk menjadi sesuatu dalam kondisi tertentu. Iya, saya percaya itulah sifat alami manusia. Tidaklah buruk dan masih bisa di atasi jika memang sikap apa adanya memang telah mengakar dan menjadi keseharian kita. Dan semoga hal itu akan menjadi saya yang baru.

Iya, momen itu sangat berdampak akan visual bersosialisasi saya dan persepsi pribadi akan si bungkusuma.

"True human nature, the one that befits us all and the one we all hide, is worse then the fake face we show to the outside world. That, is the true fact of life"

Bukan dengan diam saya jalani teror hati yang dikarenakan alpa saya akan empati welas asih terhadap seseorang. Tapi mencoba menjadi apa adanya, dan senyum sikapi situasi yang satir.

Saya percaya, -Nya sayangi saya.

i regreting things..
seeing light as a blade that stabbing ur eyes..
seeing joy as fake 5 minutes frisbee play...
seeing color as the source of pain..
and seeing wave as rage that some people have because things that you did.. and you know that you really deserve it.. so next thing to do is silent.. no more lies..

because you know that the best thing to do to be a man is dare to tell things that you wrongly did, even that hurts.. and prepare you self that you will lose all things that you have just by a minute.. and i already pushing my luck to the edge..

i`ll not running away..

i think best thing that we can do is just respect their act just like other person who wanna have some fun.

So do the opposite lads, girls will be boys,
maybe they just show that gorls can do crazy things to have some fun,
they want their rights to shout out loud bout things..
its all about rights.. woman rights! hahaha..

well.. act and attitude.. thats all matters ay?. Respect for them, who dare to shout out loud their act.

Mimpi adalah sesuatu yang menyenangkan
dan tidak memerlukan biaya mahal.

Perbincangan hingga pagi hari dengan dua teman saya Inskur dan Hef berujung dengan senyum runyam (apa pula artinya ini) saya sikapi periode 2010 nanti. Kejar setoran untuk reparasi rumah (sebagaimana layaknya Inskur) atau lakukan hal seenak jidat dan yakin itu akan menghasilkan sesuatu (hello abang Hef).

Tapi setidaknya saya sudah memutuskan sesuatu untuk bisa memilih kedua jalan seperti yang teman karib saya jalani sekarang. Keputusan yang krusial yang mungkin akan buat jalan saya semakin abu-abu. Nekat, ya maaf itulah saya. Tapi karena itulah (walaupun masih dalam hitungan puluhan hari lagi) adrenalin saya mulai berpacu pikirkan strategi untuk coba siasati rute baru yang pastinya saya memulainya kembali dari titik nol (lagi).

God, what did i do yah?

Ahh.. emak dan lingkaran kecil saya masih menyemangati. Mari mimpi.. jangan takut sakit hati!

.Morph

2009-10-26T21:03:00.004+07:00

(Rough sketch of Morph series)

Berbicara tentang wacana kreatif dalam koridor seni, Saya percaya setiap individu punya sudut pandang sendiri dalam menilai sesuatu serta menjalani proses kreatifnya. Dan itu adalah hak mutlak yang dimana menurut saya tidak bisa diganggu gugat karena merupakan hak sejak lahir.

Aturan, norma, sarana formal pendidikan, lingkungan pergaulan, dan perdebatan akan sebuah wacana seni hanyalah sebuah referensi dimana setiap individu yang lugas akan menjalani proses tersebut dengan memutuskan jalannya sendiri nantinya. Saya tidak ingin cipta rasa karsa yang saya memiliki terbelenggu dengan sempitnya pengetahuan saya karena saya jarang datang ke sebuah pameran dan meresapi setiap karya didalamnya walau itu hanya prakata di katalog.

Saya mulai muak dengan pengertian ambigu akan artian mapan dan tidak mapan, komersial maupun juangkan isme, kaya akan konsep atau hanya muntah coretan bahkan mungkin predikat gaul dan kampungan yang orang lain sematkan ke tiap individu yang bersangkutan. Buat saya, persepsi akan keindahan itu nisbi sebagaimana halnya kebenaran itu sendiri.

Melakukan proses kreatif dalam menciptakan sebuah karya tanpa konsepsi yang baku bukanlah sebuah kesalahan, walaupun yang bersangkutan masih ragukan warhol dan la chapelle sebagai pejuang kreatif era post modern. Membuka mata dan melihat sesuatu dari sudut pandang lain tidak melulu dari panduan tertulis seniman ternama maupun cap akan "hits"nya seseorang maupun mainstreamnya individu kreatif dalam jalani keseharian. Buat saya semua itu hanya sebatas rasa "suka" maupun "tidak suka" dalam melihat sebuah imej. Dan saya senang melihat persepsi berbeda dari tiap -tiap orang dalam melihat dan menilai sebuah karya, sebagaimana ibu saya katakan tentang koleksi print karya Nan Goldin yang saya unduh dari internet yaitu "Ini apaan sih.. udah gambarnya porno-porno, gak jelas juga maksudnya apa.. kaya gini kho di koleksi..". Dan saya berpikir biarkan ibu saya seperti itu adanya.. tanpa perlu saya jelaskan apa-apa, baik itu tentang estetika emosi maupun semiotika visual didalamnya.

Rangkuman tentang apa yang saya pikir dan pertimbangkan untuk kemudian saya konsepkan dalam hal saya berproses kreatif sekarang ini.

atau memang ini yang benar saya lihat waktu pejam mata sejenak saat seberangi jalan protokol di pusat jakarta di malam hari, dimana (menurut saya) imaji tak kasat mata bisa terlihat jika titik tumpu konsentrasi manusia di pusatkan pada satu subjek saja?

apa iya saat itu saya tumpukan konsentrasi saya pada kata "konsumerisme"?

atau saya terlalu sensitif saja dalam hal melihat brand label?

Atau memang iya saya benar benar tersesat di dimensi lain pojokan pacific place?

siyal..

sepertinya ini bukan yang terakhir..

dan saya benar benar harus lari karenanya.
