Tentang pameran:
Look // After
Deden Hendan Durahman
Melalui karya-karya fotografinya, sudah lama Deden Hendan Durahman tertarik menciptakan “ruang artifisial” yang tidak hanya memaksa batas realita dan ilusi kedalam kesamaran, tetapi juga memiuhkan (distorsi) – bahkan membuat pemirsa berpikir lebih lama untuk menyadari, karena subyek bahasannya tidak tampak secara eksplisit. Dengan strategi visual yang khas, Durahman secara perlahan mengundang pemirsa memasuki “ruang dimana kebohongan bisa diatur” sambil mempertanyakan : apakah realita merupakan suatu produk delusi perseorangan?
Lingkup karya fotografinya adalah gejolak sosial-politik dan budaya yang sedang melanda Indonesia saat ini. Dinamika ini tentunya juga berlaku secara global. Dalam hal ini, memproduksi kebohongan melalui berbagai citraan, sedang dihadapi bangsa Indonesia ibarat kanker yang akut. Dalam budaya visual sekarang, orang-orang tidak bisa lagi menyaring mana realita yang diciptakan melalui kebohongan dan mana yang tidak.
Melalui proyek fotografi Look // After , Durahman setidaknya ingin menyampaikan fenomena ini. Ia menawarkan suatu kepada kita untuk merefleksi makna kebenaran dalam bayang – bayang kebohongan di era “pasca kebenaran”. Seperti yang ia kemukakan untuk proyek ini, “ budaya visual dalam ruang siber harus dikritik karena itu mengasingkan kita dari kebenaran – meski ia hanyalah konstruksi.”
(Penulis Aminudin T.H. Siregar, Leiden 2019)
For a long time, through his photographic work, Deden Hendan Durahman took an interest in the creation of “artificial space” which not only pushed the boundary between reality and illusion into a blur, but also distorted – even though it took a long time for viewers to realize it because subject-matter has not appeared explicitly. With such a typical visual strategy, Durahman slowly invites viewers to enter “space where lies can be justified” while questioning: is reality a delusive individual product?
The context of his photographic work is the socio-political and cultural turmoil that is currently engulfing Indonesia. This dynamic is, of course, valid globally. However, in terms of producing lies through images, Indonesia is currently facing it like acute cancer. In the current visual culture of Indonesia, people can no longer filter out which reality is created through lies and what is not.
Through this Look \\ After photography project, Durahman offers at least this phenomenon. This project offers a reflection on the meaning of truth in the shadows of lies in today’s “post-truth” era. As he stated for this project, “visual culture in cyberspace must be criticized because it further alienates us from the truth – only construction.”
