Sacred Prayer for the Dead /
Sketsa Wajah Kita, 2003

Installation

In the picture on the wall (painted in 1999), the artist presents himself in a yellow ruling party t-shirt, in a worker’s uniform and an army uniform. The huge penis of an upside-down figure made of bamboo mats is labeled "Mass Destroyer Weapon".

Among the numerous other elements are t-shirts (also from 1999) with the names of places in Indonesia where acts of violence have occurred.
