Catalogue published in conjunction with Eko Nugroho's solo exhibition at Cemeti Art House, Yogyakarta in 2009. The show featured the artist's interpretation of Javanese wayang puppetry, which included a performance combining traditional and modern elements, with collaborators Ign."Clink" Sugiarto, Yennu Ariendra and Ki Catur Kuncoro.
"The wayang puppets here are transformations of Eko Nugroho's comical figures that have long been adopted as the main aesthetic base of his work. Peculiar figures, such as stone-headed man, diamond-hearted man, and pincer-headed man, are common in his paintings, drawings, and embroideries. Combining fantasies and daily life is his way to represent a world view about ambiguity and contradiction." – Alia Swastika
Biography included.
