When Bright Side Meets the Dark Side - An Exhibition of INTERNATIONAL POLITICAL ASSASSINATION

5/16/2012

Satu dokumentasi yang bersarang di dalam memori laptop saya. Dokumentasi tentang kunjungan ke salah satu exhibition di Galeri Antara, Jakarta. Sebuah pameran berjudul "Politik Pembunuhan Internasional" oleh Arjan Onderdenwijngaard. Pameran tersebut berlangsung dari tanggal 2 -21 Desember 2011 lalu dalam rangka memperingati hari HAM Internasional dan HUT Kantor Berita Antara ke-74. 

Pameran tersebut menampilkan foto-foto korban pembunuhan politik internasional yang telah diolah ke dalam seni grafis dan ditampilkan dalam bentuk kuartet. Sebut saja tokoh-tokoh seperti 4 mahasiswa Trisakti yang menjadi korban dari revolusi reformasi; Pemuka Agama seperti Ali Ibn Abu Thalib, Yesus Kristus, Oscar Romero, dan Swami Saraswati; ikon politik seperti Anne Frank, Mohandas Gandhi, Che Guevara, dan Osama Bin Ladent; pemimpin oposisi seperti Benigno Aquino dan Benazir Bhutto; aktivis HAM seperti Munir Said Thalib, dan lain-lain.

Yang menarik dari pameran tersebut buat saya adalah ketika Arjan Onderdenwijngaard melihat bahwa dari setiap tokoh-tokoh yang ditampilkan secara kuartet tersebut mereka memiliki persamaan. Arjan melihat bahwa tokoh-tokoh tersebut merupakan pahlawan sekaligus penjahat. Untuk sebagian kaum tokoh tersebut adalah pahlawan, sementara untuk kaum yang lain mereka adalah penjahat.

"Semua memiliki dua sisi, cahaya dan gelap - Arjan Onderdenwijngaard"

Kali ini saya tidak mendokumentasikan diri saya, saya hanya ingin mendokumentasikan keadaan.
Itu saja. Selamat menikmati.

(A very interesting photo exhibition in graphic designs by Arjan Onderdenwijngaard at Antara Gallery, Jakarta from December 2-21, 2011. He takes theme about International Political Assassination. He put four of each figure in one form based on their background, for example: four Trisakti students who are being the victims of the reforms revolution in Indonesia; Religious leaders such Ali Ibn Abu Thalib, Yesus Kristus, Oscar Romero, dan Swami Saraswati; political icon such as Anne Frank, Mohandas Gandhi, Che Guevara, and Osama Bin Ladent; human right activist such as Munir Said Thalib, and others. The interesting part from the exhibition for me is when Arjan thought that all the figures is such a hero for some people, and bad people for some others. Every figures has their bright and dark sides. Enjoy)

    Hey, a compatriot of mine! :).

    I love you liked the exhibition. I think his "happy families" is interestingly funny with an edge indeed. A sharp edge.

    It makes one think to see Osama bin Laden (man of violent Jihad) combined with Ghandi ( man of peaceful resistance). And Che ( man of violent rebellion) with Anne Frank ( victim of genocide).

    I doubt though whether Salman Rushdie has been done justice to put his face on the same card with the ugly one of Geert Wilders. Even though both got serious and many fold death threats Wilders is, and Rushdie is not an Islam basher.
