Angki Purbandono, a member of the contemporary photography group Ruang MES 56, is best known for his Alternative Conceptual Photography using scanographic images done without the use of cameras. This piece featured a figure of a little girl standing on top of what seems to be piles of rotten banana while pointing up as if she achieved something that is impossible.
Angki studied in the Modern School of Design, Yogyakarta, in 1993-1994, and furthered his studies at the Indonesian Institute of Art, Yogyakarta, in 1994-1999. He received the Asian Artist Fellowship from the National Museum of Contemporary Art, South Korea, at the Changdong Art Studio in 2005-2006. He had solos in Kuala Lumpur (Kissing The Methods, Richard Koh Fine Art, 2009), Singapore, Hong Kong and Bali, Indonesia. He was included in the ‘Space And Shadows’ Contemporary Art From Southeast Asia exhibition at the Haus World Cultural House in Berlin in 2005.
