Homo Homini Lupus

Since I was younger, I was introduced to the

concept that human needs each other and

well-known as social creature. Yet,

understanding that information doesn't make

me grow up as a person who easily help the

other. I would help as much as I could and as

much as I wanted, but as least I would not

cause poorer condition of the one who needs

help.

As time goes by, in the high school, I was

introduced to a rather contradicting concept of

Homo Homini Lupus (man is wolf to other

man). I was confused because there are two

different concepts opposing each other in my

head. How human could possibly be helping

each other and believed as social creature

while killing each other in the other side. It is

rather difficult to gather those two contradicting

belief.

After a lingering moment of denial phase, I was

shocked by an incident where a group of

people try to "execute" me while I'm trying to

help them at that very same time. I get more

and more confused until a friend told me that

we are no longer walking at the same path and

they have nothing more to do with me. If it was

a car road trip, they want to go someplace

where I have to get out of the car in the middle

of our journey so they could go on driving.

by dito yuwono

When I review the thought, my mind end up in a word:

"interest". It happens that what I didn't know and realize

this whole time was the meaning of the word interest. This

word becomes the bridge for those two contradicting

concept of human relation I mentioned previously. As I

once heard, there is neither eternal friend nor eternal

enemy, there is only necessity. Interest is the reason why

people might help us or kill us. It is interest that could

change the "enemy" status become "friend" in a blink,

vice versa.

On the second thought, I think it might be important to

rethink about my friendship values. Once again, maybe.

Five words that you like about your hobby?

Video, video and video

I only make video with a light happy heart. I own a personal

project named Videorobber since 2006. Videorobber works

on any kind of video media and its application, surely with a

characteristic: everything is done manually!

You can say it is simply loosened up...it is not demanding,

because if it was demanding I would make the video sadly. I

have to make video happily so don’t call it work. Anyway, I

am currently catching up with my second video compilation,

videorobber#2.

I start to make video since 1999. In the beginning, it was only

for the sake of looking cool and adored by my desired lady. In

the end it makes me addicted and wanting more, more, and

more in the accomplishment of my video works.

Life is a borrowed thing that will soon be taken back by

the owner.

Still a video maker, with a better quality, of course!

Haloo..tell me a bit about yourself

What is your hobby/ passion/ work and how do you

define that in your life?

When did you start working on this hobby and why?

Extrovertly weird. Passionate. Loving life. Provocative.

I love fashion and music for my passion. That is why I run a

fashion blog http://domusmederline.blogspot.com/

(myrrh goldframe), to distribute my fashion instinct that

sometimes hard to control. hahaha. Aside from that,

music is also become a closest part of my life. I am now

operating sidestream-band management in Surabaya

such as hi mom! , smellstreet , and polka poizei. In my

daily life, I work as a broadcaster in a private radio in

Surabaya. I love doing all of that.

I become a fashion blogger since the past a year and a

half. I was inspired by my favorite fashion bloggers such

as Sally Jane Vintage and Gala Gonzales. They both are

stunning ladies. It was quite incidental when I decided to

make band management; it was because I used to have a

community band in Surabaya and a good network so I

decided to be a band manager. It is easier but still fun.

Being a radio broadcaster is akso very fun because we

only work part time but stay update with current condition.

Spontaneity. variety. laugh. balance. not over.

Happy when we can enjoy life without pressure. Life is so

free and fun. Happy to see my mom being proud of her

daughter. Happy being myself.

Life is an obligation that has to be faced until the last

breath. Life is struggling with smile and tears.

Being a more independent person, free but organized.

jump in jump out

That quote has been dangling in my head since two

years ago, right before I graduate. I was a girl with starry

eyes, dare to dream and just done making a blueprint of

it. Its right there, ready to be achieved and everyone was

believing in me; except for myself. I dare to dream but not

dare enough to achieve it. So, I jumped into a

wonderland instead: art world. It was right there in front

of me and all I have to do is jump into the rabbit hole. So I

jumped. It was strangely amazing! Working in a

dreamlike place with summer breeze brushing my cheek

and afternoon music playing somewhere near.

I was in my happiest moment when that quote of

Pramoedya flashing in my head once again. I need to do

more than that, that's what I keep telling myself. So I

made a quick decision and act in a snap: I build my little

cafe. That, right there, is another wonderland I created.

In my free time from working in the art world, I'll enjoy

quality times in my little cafe. Even after I quit the art job, I

still have my dreamlike life operating my cafe and

attending art and social events at night.

When the quote once again haunting me, I start to do

new things by making my fashion portfolio: styling,

writing, and creating fantasy in my own fashion blog.

Once again, I created a wonderland. I love my alter ego

and enjoy my life to the fullest: operating a cafe to

survive, fashion blog to nurture, and producing an art

performance on the way.

Somehow, that quote was chasing me even more

and even crueler on that moment. My life was at its

happiest and fullest but I feel like doing nothing.

That's when my fashion blog portfolio paid off: I got a

real-life job as a lifestyle writer in a city miles away

from my wonderland.

This time, I jumped out of the rabbit hole. It's a real

world I'm facing in front of me. Away from my

dreamlike life, miles away from everyone that I love

and a brand new adventure away from home. I feel

like crying outloud; this time I hate that change, I hate

the city I'm heading, and I feel like Wendy: a girl who

must grow up and leave Neverland.I have to shut

down my business and leave my art performance

project on the way. Losing those two babies breaks

my heart a little and I realize that it's not that easy to

turn a new page.

Looking back, I realize how that quote has been

affecting me so strongly. I keep doing something and

making new decision in a snap whenever that quote

came and haunt me. Change is very very hard but

that quote keeps me moving. Life improvement it is.

Now that's a real act: leaving the wonderland and

grow up, that's what I hear its saying. I know one day

I'll be back home,trying to achieve the dream I always

dreamt; but this time, I need to be fully awake and

work it out.

"Once in a lifetime, a man must act.

Or else, he'll be nobody." (Pramoedya Ananta Toer)

According to a friend’s

analogy, “If you can’t be

number one, you’d better be

the last”; that’s also how one

thinks and works in design. I

always feel more comfortable

in adopting and adapting a

discourse to be itemized as a

wicked visual. It’s not all

about designing capability,

but more about cooptation,

deconstruction; and it’s easier

to catch the meaning that

meant to contain funny things

as the centre of interest.

"At the Very Bottom of Everything" is a contemplative

film about a girl fighting Bipolar Disorder and trying her

best not to kill herself. Bipolar Disorder (also known as

Manic Depression) is a mental disease where one of five

casualties ends up in suicide. This battle is portrayed in

ten fragments consist of various art forms such as

performing art, musical ambiences, stop motion pictures,

visual works, craft, and diorama.

The film started with a woman sitting in her colorful room,

accompanied by non-stop smoke of her cigarette, while

she starts to talk about her disease in profound

metaphoric words. The image of this young lady herself

is disturbing, exposed is several version of her in one

scene: sitting, walking, thinking, moving forwards and

backwards in that intense colored room. After each

fragment, her story will be told in theatrical performance

of bare-naked man, woman, rats, dolls in flame, stop

motion pictures, diorama, and bloods. Most of the

fragments show hellish depth, tortured intense feeling,

and the emotional battle she's facing. The visual

interpretation of her disturbed mind is traumatic and

surrealistic.

This second film by Paul Agusta is based on his personal

experience and played by the leading lady Kartika Jahja

who is also a manic-depressive. To their world, there are

only night and day without dawn and twilight. They will be

either very depressed or euphorically happy in a torturing

super-intense feeling. The movie honestly captured that

feeling and the end is uplifting after the series of

depressive images.

This book was made for anyone who wants to know

more about the "unusual" magazines. We Make

Magazines summarize hundreds of independent

magazine from the whole world and present various facts

and interesting information behind the making of those

magazines; from the superpower country like U.S. to

South Africa. Many kinds of interviews for the maker of

independent magazines, interesting layout, and unusual

topics were nicely presented in We Make Magazine. It is

completed with magazines directory to enrich our

reference. We Make Magazine will make reading

makes you want to start your own magazine.

Banksy: The Identity Guerillaby.Amalia Faris.images.www.banksy.co.uk

erudition/

For those who roam the street at night with aerosol can as

their mightier-than-sword's pen, anonymity is an

unquestionable trait, but never been a graffiti artist as

famous for his un-identity-ness as Banksy.

Rumored to be born in Bristol in 1974, Banksy arts, mostly

graffiti, become famous all over the world; from the picture of

a naked man dangling outside the window's edge in a wall

above the Bristol Council Sexual Health Clinic until the image

of children digging a hole through the controversial Israeli

Security Barrier in West Bank.

Banksy use every way to bring consciousness, a simple

stop-and-stare moment, in dull corners of everyday life. His

technique changed from freehand graff i t i into

implementation of stencils, for the sake of less

time—another important trait a graffiti artist needed. His

stencil graffiti art style mirrored Blek le Rat; the godfather of

graffiti art that has start his guerilla on the street since 1980s.

Bristol underground scene as Banksy main influence also

becomes a signature in his every artwork. The city's strong

culture give the same simple dark tone Banksy use that

people too can find in the music of Massive Attack.

Unlike most graffiti artists, Banksy message are loud, clear,

and almost always with a tongue-in-cheek humors. Girl

hugging atom bombs and helicopter with sweet pink ribbon

as an anti-war cry, a big graffiti 'One Nation under CCTV'

right next to—what else—CCTV camera can be read as a

protest, sneering over London's reputation as city with most

CCTV camera installed in the whole world.Banksy's mocking tone cried as far to the art world itself as in

March 2005, when he smuggled his own works into four New

York City most prestigious and most well-guarded

museums, in a single day, all at opening hours.

Some even stayed until several days undetected. “When you

go to an art gallery you are simply a tourist looking at the

trophy cabinet of a few millionaires.” Banksy once stated in

his book.

January 24th, the first Banksy film was being premiered in

Sundance Film Festival 2010. Produced, directed, and

starred by non other than Banksy himself. ...or so they say.

The beginning of documentary film starts with story of

Thierry Guetta, a Banksy-obsessed French immigrant in

LA documenting the art and life of the street artist. The

movie twisted when Banksy decided to switch their role,

Banksy filming Thierry—now nicknamed Mr. Brainwash—

who become a street artist himself.

The documentary then, release gasses of endless theories

in the media and the audience of Banksy identity. Some

said that Mr. Brainwash is Banksy; others sneered, saying

it's just another prank from the Briton artist. In real world,

Thierry Guetta career as a street artist goes rocketing to

the point where his artwork sold for US$ 200,000.

Trying to reveal the truth of Banksy is no difference than

trying to catch a fog. The media, the fans, and the police, all

have been attempting to reveal his identity. Countless

attempts, yet the truth are never 100%. The fog is so thick with speculations until we no longer

know who pulled the prank on whom. Perhaps Banksy has

fooled the society; or perhaps Banksy really is just a Robin

Gunningham The Mail on Sunday long reported, perhaps

his cult legend was overrated all this time.

But does it really matter now? Banksy guerilla in the art

world has shattered the every wall of consciousness.

Ironically, Banksy's own fame that stands in the path of his

role in the anti-establishment movement. But sparks lead

sparks, the only thing that matter is who lit them first.

Either way of the story, Banksy still hold the last laugh.
