An informal evening with Kae Oktorina & christopher tym around their collaboration within the project ‘Beyond Provenance’, resulting in the hybrid documentary
‘Idak-Idak-Idak’
Beyond Provenance Beyond Provenance is a transnational film collaboration between art collective Indeks (Bandung) and film platform wysiwyg (The Hague). The project reacts to the Dutch government’s intent of giving back looted objects to Indonesia. Beyond Provenance explores how film and collaboration can reassess narratives around restitution.
'Idak-Idak-Idak' relates the stolen Lombok Treasures with the Sasak diaspora through three generations of women: a daughter, her mother, and her grandmother. Blending full-spectrum cinematography with personal footage, this film moves between Indonesia and the Netherlands to examine colonial legacies, displacement and healing the heart of home.
Christopher and Kae will speak about their practises and the quirks of artistic collaboration, interspersed with audiovisual fragments that may or may not have made the final cut.
