Mahatma Putra — documentary

unbreakable

My first exhibition: the graduating work of the twelfth photojournalism workshop at Galeri Foto Jurnalistik Antara.

The twelfth intake of the Galeri Foto Jurnalistik Antara workshop showed its graduating work under one word: unbreakable. It was the first time my photographs hung on a wall, and the beginning of everything that followed: the long projects, the film work, the habit of staying with a subject until it opens.
