55+ (finally)

halo!

everybody know, how stress i am before (finally)..
55+
a photo exhibition by UFO’s 17th generation
(but no one know, how proud i am being one of them)


held on 27th August-1st September 2010
at cafebale Jogjakarta
opened by a very famous painter; Ki Joko Pekik
visited by at least 400 lucky people (including my father :D)

i don't ever think,
there's an amazing, beautifull, antique, and unforgetable art gallery like CAFEBALE before.
Although it spent too much time for the curator to think about the display, but hey..
looook how cozy this place..


Oke, lets check this out
this is one of my photo(s), titled "Ditinggal Untuk Merdeka"

I photographed Kiki Mella Clara's super grandmom -Ms. Marijam- (read:Maryam)
with her husband -Mr. Barnas- photo in her hand.
Mr. Barnas was an Indonesia freedom fighter, died because stroke a few years ago.
hmm to be honest i felt disappointed because
Bang Didi (one of the curator) rejected my writing for this photo's caption. :(
But this is my page, i can write all of what i want here. So sorry Bang Didi hihi :p

"Ditinggal Untuk Merdeka"

Tangan tak dapat lagi digenggam
Pipi tak dapat lagi dikecup
Bahkan sehelai rambutpun tak dapat lagi dibelai
Kenangan memang tak pernah salah untuk selalu diingat
Tapi apa mau dikata kalau Tuhan yang bertahta
Simpan! Simpan kenangan itu..
Seperti suamimu selalu menyimpan merah di darahnya
dan putih ditulangnya.

And the other photo was..

"Layang Kangen"

Sepine ing wengi iki. Atiku mung tansyah iling karo kowe. Angin parama ribut mung tansyah ngelengake. Aku ora bakal lali karo kowe. Aku kangen kowe. Isuk, awan, wengi, sore.
Aku kangen kowe! -Mi-

Sunyinya malam ini. Hatiku hanya teringat padamu. Angin parama ribut turut mengingatkan. Aku tak akan melupakanmu. aku merindukanmu. pagi, siang, malam, sore. Aku merindukanmu! -Mi-*

*Surat ini tak pernah tersampaikan. Beberapa tahun yang lalu, suaminya berpulang.

Mbah Mi (the talent) is a food seller behind my father's office. She is a widow. Her husband died a few years ago. She tried to write down her everlasting longing to her husband (in heaven) by this letter. She said to me that the letter was a Java's song lyric by Didi Kempot.

I and 24 other photographers work hard to organize
and make our passion comes true; making a good photos exhibition.
and i feel so satisfied with all of our work hard. God bless us! :D
