Agung Kurniawan is a social-cultural activist living in Yogyakarta

The works tells us about social-cultural issue in Jakarta

A R C O F T E N S I O N

Unlike the old-school sex industry, which was exploitative of women, Agung thinks that today’s industry is more ‘humanistic’. The people involved are young men and women who are fully aware of their assets. They are like the lubricant that keeps the hectic Jakarta going. Without them, the big machine that is Jakarta will be paralyzed.

Maika Elan is a freelance photographer from Hanoi. Before focusing on documentary photography Focus on contemporary issue

Documentary photo about homosexual relationship.

She took photographs of homosexual and transgender couples in intimate spaces and situations—a drastically different perspective from that of everyday Vietnamese people. These intimate

portraits require not only a close relationship between the couples, but also between the couples and the photographer.

In recent years, several countries around the world began to acknowledge homosexual relationship and granted homosexuals legal rights equal to those of heterosexual couples. However, in Asian countries— where religion and the state often go strongly hand in hand—such equality and human rights enforcement is still a long way to go.

She obtained a Bachelor of Arts (Visual Arts) from the University of South Australia in 1993, majoring in photography and minoring in cinematography. I-Lann also works in the Malaysian film industry and teaches in universities.

She took photographs in order to reintroduce the kuntilanak figure to the audience—as a representation of women whose every single inch of her body cannot escape from the demands of social, political, religious and local norms. Through modern

visual forms, I-Lann positions kuntilanak as an appreciation for anti-heroines, who are loved and feared at the same time.

In the form of photo-graffiti, I-Lann presents three misogynistic views of kuntilanakas a failed woman who is no longer of value when she rejects or cannot live up to her reproductive task. On three flat screen television sets, I-Lann presents conversations with a number of young women on life and its demands over their roles in the society, for example as a wife and a housewife. The combination of the two will play with the 2015 Jakarta Biennale visitors’ assumptions aroundkuntilanak.
