Three costumes (between costumes / shelters / tents / flags) are made out of digital photographs of the earthquake rubble or spots with left overs of former house holds. Everything destroyed except some concrete constructions, some cupboards still standing there, etc. With everything destroyed, how to build up again? Do you want to replace the old or do we want to improve. Do you have the ability to improve?
I made those shelters out of digital prints of empty lands near my house in southern Yogyakarta, Indonesia, where total houses where destroyed by the earth quake last May. The shelters are actually a satire to the organizations that took over places and spots where common people lived before disasters (war or nature) . Each different NGO, divided by religion, country and vision, claims those places for recovery projects. They claim a certain area and place their flags to border their land and start their field work and write their proposals full of specific NGO talk. Those shelters or flags I made, I brought to Saigon in Vietnam and placed them in front of a site that was destroyed and rebuild after the war and became the Independence Museum.
