Boedi Widjaja: Rivers and lakes tanah dan air Stone telling: Tanah dan air (一上) 2018 Open 9.2*184*0.2cm | Closed 9.2*12.2*1.3cm Graphite and gel medium on paper, accordion book code: OT_3885

Widjaja traced his father’s handwriting of the bilingual Rivers and lakes poems on one side of the accordion book, and on the verso, made stone-like marks.  Notions of home, homeland and history, through the lenses of Chinese and Indonesian semantics, may be read into the geographical features and elements that make up the poems. In the installation, the text may appear asemic as it is seen as a reflection. Extending the idea of psychological territories, the stone-like markings were created without material stones.
