Notes From The Fringe
Synopsis
The left projection is set in a butcher’s home in the riverside slum area of Ciliwung, Jakarta during the 2014 monsoon season – just a few months before a massive forced eviction started as part of a World Bank-funded mitigation project. The right projection was recorded immediately after one of the sporadic evictions. The graffiti reads: “we might have lost, but one day we will…” with the last word buried in the ruins.
