All digital work produced on the internet is fated to become kitsch, no matter the level of elegance or skill with which it is executed.
Imagining Childhood In Lebak Siliwangi
Drawing inspiration from the dark and gritty work of Daido Moriyama, this photo series intentionally juxtaposes the youthful children within a Moriyama-esque visual style, mirroring the contradicting aura of past and present that enveloped Lebak Siliwangi.
The Soundtrack Of My Childhood And Other Songs To Run Over Pedestrians To
This song is in GTA IV, I hear across the share-house-party kitchen.
What if I wanted to be a duck?
I turned off my phone and went to sleep.
By the morning, it had 15,000 notes.
Curatorial Whiplash!
Curation is experiencing a shift that I believe is well needed, a shift towards rethinking the bounds of the museum from just a place to put art on walls to a more experiential world, creating new, interactive and interdisciplinary ways to view art.
'Troy's House' (2023) SUDS: Review
The liminal area between teendom and adulthood, between Sydney and Melbourne, between friends and enemies, between ad breaks. Everything that happens within is transitional and temporary: “all we do [at Troy’s house] is recount the last event and talk about the next one.”

Ethos: a dialogue with Amy Blue at The Other Art Fair
“I think the things that inspire me the most are definitely music and movies, queer culture.

Just like being out on a dancefloor or at a pub with close friends, that kind of thing.”
Diana Costantini at The Other Art Fair: "My relationship with art is really just centred on my love to create."
“My relationship with art is really just centred on my love to create. I always encourage my staff and creative team to do that as well. Yes, we do this for a living, but we’re also following a brief. So, I encourage them to try and create outside of the workplace because that’s where you can actually, really explore your own creativity. I just really love it.”
“The big thing for me is it's not only the physicality of a place, but it's the people”: In conversation with Laurie Franklin at The Other Art Fair
