| Sumario: | In the photographic archive of the Dutch East Indies there is photographs of Javanese kings. Among the photos are portraits that were actually made to depict the figure of a king. The photo production was staged in such a way as to present the image of the king. "Harta Tahta Siapa" is a photographic work that deconstructs the visual codes of the king in photographs as a form of expression of the postmodern society towards the priyayi - wong cilik binary opposition. This work does not want to side with one of these social classes, but instead tries to dissolve it. The stages of work began with analyzing photos of Javanese kings and sorting out the visual code in them. The visual codes in the photo are then transformed into the social life of the lower classes using visual metaphors. |
