 Step into a world frozen in time, where sepia-toned memories and greyscale nuances transport you to Indonesia's colonial period. Imagine having free access to a vast digitized photography collection, revealing a previously hidden past. This book presents two fascinating playbooks that use artistic strategies to reconnect us with photographic archives. Zaldy Armansyah's "Reframing" uses collage to reveal the power dynamics of everyday scenes from the colonial era. A poetic medium reveals the hidden social structures depicted in these images. Theo Frids Hutabarat's "Anonim" takes inspiration from water-soaked family photographs and superimposes them with images carefully selected by KITLV. The result is a fascinating fusion of past and present, creating a fabric of ambiguous and ambiguous images. Liesbeth Ouwehand, former curator of photography at KITLV, invites us on this journey.
