| Summary: | The landscape is often referred to as an introduction to visual art, mainly in
observing and searching for the beauty of natural objects. In Indonesia, the
popular notion of landscape is rooted in Western painting tradition, affecting how
natural objects are perceived as separate from the human’s world. The creation
process aims to raise dialogue between self and space to produce a subjective
interpretation of nature.
The author used the concept and creation process of landscape in Western art by
capturing the sublime in observing the environment around her residence.
Aposteriori attitude influences the creative process. The sublime is found in the
daily vista of carbon emission in the Bandung basin and the change of
surroundings, beyond representation method and choice of objects in the
landscape tradition. The author considers nature a constellation of naturalartificial
objects, along with the consequences of the relations between objects.
In the creation process, the aposteriori attitude widened aesthetics and artistic
preferences, material, and narratives to respond to a specific observation object.
Assemblage media is used to convey materiality and the relation between objects
in a landscape. The author combined bleached woods and leaves and landscapeoriented
readymade objects as mediums close to everyday life. The author
considers colour removal in bleaching as artistic idiolect. In this project, the
absence of colour represents the time ambiguity, identity, and life-death as
changing aspects in a landscape. |
