Wimo Ambala Bayang
Biografi
Wimo Ambala Bayang (b.1976, Magelang), is a multi disciplinary artist and curator. He graduated from the Photography Department at the Indonesian Institute of the Arts Yogyakarta, Indonesia. His preferred mediums are photography, video, object, text, and performances. His works reflect unique perspectives on culture that are not made under a pretence to criticize, but to make us rethink the habits that seem ‘to have always been there’. History and facts, minor and major, are important aspects that must always be considered in his creative process. Wimo is always interested in finding a unique and hidden perspective from our everyday life, to encourage the audience to rethink and to question all the small things that happen in our life. Using his camera, he plays with visual reality, combining the real visual view and imagined fantasy. Wimo also tends to open up layers of different cultures, bringing us to reach a common understanding of our heterogeneous contemporary society.
