Hari Krisnadi is not only known as a musician, for since 1982, he has also been actively involved in photography. In his latest exhibition, which was held in late 2002, Hari Krisnadi – or Hari Pochang, as he is popularly known – mulled over the much-disputed issue of art and photography: when can a photograph be considered a work of art the way the art world views paintings as a works of art, the quiescent dilemma between photography as a work of art or art as photography. Since 1985, when Hari Pochang founded the Forum Fotografi Bandung (Bandung’s Forum on Photography) he has contemplated the difference between photography as aesthetic medium of expression, and photography as autonomous work and practice equaling an artist’s work. Pochang made his concern known in 1986 the Forum Alternatif (Alternative Forum) photo-exhibition in Bandung. But the discourse on photography in Indonesia remained divided between “salon photography” and photography for photography’s sake. The problem began when photography in the archipelago was used as a medium to document social and anthropological artifacts.

Naraphat Sakarthornsap Lives and works in Bangkok. In many of his works, Naraphat presents stories of inequality in the society through photography and installation art, in which flowers play the leading roles. Many kinds of flowers that Naraphat uses usually comes with profound meanings. Those flowers have become the keys to finding the answers that are neatly hidden in the works of art. Naraphat’s early works presented the challenge against nature in trying to prolong the freshness of the flower before he develops the ideas to become the challenge against power and influence in the society through the pictures of these flowers. Therefore, do not believe in what the flowers in front of you appear to be. But look for the messages these flowers are hiding. Perhaps, what Naraphat is facing and trying to present is the same as the ones many others are inevitably struggling with, over the standards in the society, where inequalities are all around them.

Wimo Ambala Bayang (b. 1976) is a visual artist and among the first to experiment with contemporary photography and video art in Indonesia. He graduated in Photography from the Indonesian Art Institute in Yogyakarta. In 2002 he co-founded Ruang MES 56, an artist collective working with photography, where he continues to be an active member. In 2004, Ambala founded Video Battle, an online video compilation project produced and distributed independently.
In his artistic practice, Ambala shifts between photography, video, and object making to address and challenge the dialectics of reality and illusion, comprehension and experience, or presence and absence in image-making by always redefining the meaning of his subjects through multiple and uncanny visual perspectives. Using participatory approaches, staged photography, digital montage, or street snapshots, he often creates fictitious settings where ready-made objects or staged bodies become the central elements, shaping new subjectivities and ways of being perceived.
In the past 10 years, Wimo has participated in international artist residencies and exchanges, such as in China, Australia, Netherlands, Denmark, and Romania. Recently he also co-curated Jimei X Arles International Photo Festival in Xiamen and Collaboration of Ruang Mes X Foam at the Foam Fotomuseum in Amsterdam. There he explored new ideas, approaches, and different contexts related to the development of contemporary photography, which influenced his decision to juxtapose photography with other disciplines in art.
