JAGAD | Monica Lim and Rianto

Artshouse

Jagad throws at us the eternal question – how do we translate ourselves? We present a different version of ourselves depending on where we are, who we are talking to. And the world in turn sees us through different prisms, particularly for those of us who live in the borders between cultures and definitions. Jagad is a work that throws us into different perceptions of the same ‘reality’. By working in a fluid collaboration with Melanie and Rianto, and using the fluidity of time, scale and sound, bodies shift and transpose through different states, always framed and mediated by the camera lens.
