The book
REINKARNASI
Twenty years of photographs, gathered into one black-and-white sequence. A limited first edition, open for pre-order.
REINKARNASI grew out of the series shown as anātman in 2024, and out of the two decades of negatives behind it. It is a book about return: about how a life, a landscape and a gesture come back in another form, and about what stays when the self is set aside.
The work began in 2006 and the book has been in the making since 2023. It was earlier titled Anicca. Text by Mahatma Putra.
