Sweet at Dusk

In Senen subdistrict, there is a site where transactions take place so crowded at night until early morning, with specific types of merchandise: cakes. People know it “kue subu” (‘dawn cake’). In this video, the dawn cake visuals are a form of experimental material. The layers of space, movement of people, details of the body, as well as the lines and the form of color compositions are stunning artistic sights. This phenomenon is captured by using a cellphone camera and edited with a video art approach.

Sweet at Dusk is a video work produced by akumassa in the akumassa Ad hoc Project in 2013. This project was initiated in the framework of participating the 15th Jakarta Biennale 2013: SIASAT.
