Harga Mahal Yang Dibayar Murah (COST OF TIGER SKIN)
(2022)
This work grew from my observation of the everyday reality and dream world of Murah Pranoto, a dancer from Kebumen. This film portrays both Murah and my psychological journey, involved in a struggle with the primitive instincts of Homo Sapiens, as a species of destroyers.
The inspiration for this film refers to the traces of the extinction of Homo Erectus as a species. By embracing the legacy of those narratives and evidence of destruction, the film attempts to uncover the heritage of past memories by borrowing Murah's bodily experiences as a lens to understand primitive phenomena that still occur in the present day.
