"In 1994
I had a 4 month Aialink residency at Institut Seni Indonesia, in Yogyakarta,
Indonesia. I made this installation at Nor Gora Rupa, an
annual festival of music, performance and installation, in Solo/Surakarta,
North of Yogyakarta. Through
Galeri Cemeti in Yogyarkarta, along with several other artists, I
was invited to make a work in a building in the complex in which the
festival was held. The building included several pillars in the centre,
and bamboo structures supporting the unstable roof. With the help
of Marinta Singarimbun and Chefira Inda, I used a corner of the interior
of the building to begin a geometric shape which seemed like a floating
square from one point at the entrance, from where it appeared to occupy
the centre of the room, because it was drawn on the pillars as well
as on the wall behind. The shape broke up when you moved away from
that point..."
