Kintelan 4-A Project

Screenprint on Hahnemuehle Paper, and 16 album leftover photos

2021

This project is compiled from abandoned documents and photographs of Mr. Arif Budiwijaya, an owner of a 1990s well-known traditional medicine and grocery store addressed in Kintelan 4A. The location of the store is a part of the Yogyakarta Royal family property. Under the royal regulation, the residents could not fully own the property. They are only ‘borrowing’ the land—which used to be the surrounding fort wall of the Sultanate Kingdom. Now, as Yogyakarta is rapidly developing into a tourism destination, this area becomes the most potential and vulnerable from eviction. The beautifying and developing tourism potentially pushed these residents into no choice but to survive under any sudden change. Kintelan 4-a project was exhibited in FKY 2021 “Mereka-Rekam”
