Using printouts to create stop motion animation, this work is a composition of images borrowed from tourist advertisements and travel documentary clips produced in the past. Footages are dissected into frames and superimposed into a piece to create a visual experience that highlights the constructed-ness of its representation. Hilmi Johandi works primarily with painting and explores interventions with various media to pursue ideas of image-making. As he often borrows images from archival footages and photographs, beyond the reflection of nostalgia in Hilmi’s work, is a subtle portrayal of a society that encourages the viewer to reflect on existing historical narratives.
