Tentang pameran:
Look // After Deden Hendan Durahman Melalui karya-karya fotografinya, sudah lama Deden HendanDurahman tertarik menciptakan “ruang artifisial” yang tidak hanya memaksa batas realita dan ilusi kedalamkesamaran, tetapi juga memiuhkan (distorsi) - bahkanmembuat pemirsa berpikir lebih lama untuk menyadari, karena subyek bahasannya tidak tampak secara eksplisit. Dengan strategi visual yang khas, Durahman secaraperlahan mengundang pemirsa memasuki “ruang dimanakebohongan bisa diatur” sambil mempertanyakan :apakah realita merupakan suatu produk delusiperseorangan? Lingkup karya fotografinya adalahgejolak sosial-politik dan budaya yang sedang melandaIndonesia saat ini. Dinamika ini tentunya juga berlakusecara global. Dalam hal ini, memproduksi kebohonganmelalui berbagai citraan, sedang dihadapi bangsaIndonesia ibarat kanker yang akut. Dalam budaya visual sekarang, orang-orang tidak bisa lagi menyaring manarealita yang diciptakan melalui kebohongan dan manayang tidak.
Melalui proyek fotografi Look // After , Durahmansetidaknya ingin menyampaikan fenomena ini. Iamenawarkan suatu kepada kita untuk merefleksi maknakebenaran dalam bayang - bayang kebohongan di era “pasca kebenaran”. Seperti yang ia kemukakan untukproyek ini, “ budaya visual dalam ruang siber harusdikritik karena itu mengasingkan kita dari kebenaran - meski ia hanyalah konstruksi." (Penulis Aminudin T.H. Siregar, Leiden 2019)
For a long time, through his photographic work, DedenHendan Durahman took an interest in the creation of "artificial space" which not only pushed the boundary between reality and illusion into a blur, but also distorted - even though it took a long time for viewers to realize it because subject-matter has not appeared explicitly. With such a typical visual strategy, Durahman slowly invites viewers to enter "space where lies can be justified" while questioning: is reality a delusive individual product? The context of his photographic work is the socio-political and cultural turmoil that is currently engulfing Indonesia. This dynamic is, of course, valid globally. However, in terms of producing lies through images, Indonesia is currently facing it like acute cancer. In the current visual culture of Indonesia, people can no longer filter out which reality is created through lies and what is not.
Through this Look \\ After photography project, Durahman offers at least this phenomenon. This project offers a reflection on the meaning of truth in the shadows of lies in today's "post-truth" era. As he stated for this project, "visual culture in cyberspace must be criticized because it further alienates us from the truth - only construction." (written by Aminudin T.H Siregar , Leiden 2019)
