Project overview

CITY
Cities are ideologically to signify the mobility of meaning comprehended by the residents of a distinctive area instead of the geographical significance.

Jogjakarta embodies in a stereotyped predicate as the cultural and educational city. The identity of the city is on the move between two pulling sides of carrying out the tradition of palatial life and the modernity of delivering the mission as an educational city. Its modernity goes parallel with the other cities. The local government sets construction, relocation, and infrastructure of the city continuously. Unpredictably, it becomes more interesting and denser.

Bringing cities to mind truly evokes emotions; happy, loving, hateful, longing, pitiful, resentful, pleasant, and so on. Cities are endless topics to discuss with.

The activity is not about picturing Jogjakarta from “the sky” but getting close to it to an intimate corner, catching the city movement of a shorter distance that is 1 Km Radius from a spot taken by the participants in the media of photography, video or film. It is a short distance observation on the growth or stagnation of the city with all its paradoxes. It is such a tracing map of Jogjakarta performed by the city formers merely regarded as completing figures and numbers on the reading of it. The outcomes are out of trace; amazing stories hidden or invisible since they are not represented by those figures and numbers. The result is sharing knowledge and experience on situations, conditions, and moments happening in a particular area as educational and sportive recreation.

Participants and their background

KKF invites about 50 participants of different ages, professions, sexes, origins, and even sexual orientation to participate in the activity. They do not have to master technically on photography or film-making and there are no requirements to use particular camera or technique. Thus, anyone is freely permitted to join it. The only binding requirement is that a participant should be a resident of the city for at least 2 years. At a later time, the submitted videos will be on periodically at the Art Space of KKF with a wide screen along with discussions starting from April to December 2005.

Finally, those are who's brave enough to join this exhibition:
