About the artwork

I shot this picture during Balinese New Year's Eve in a small village called Nyuh Kuning. The limited light creates a strange image of this papier-mâché monster being carried through the streets. Two boys stand on the platform to make sure the boys below them do not commit accidents.

This picture has nice shades of green and orange which makes it a slightly warmer picture anyway. But the dark tones again ensures that this would work very nicely on a somewhat dark wall which will really make the subject stand out.

Some more behind-the-scenes information about Nyepi (New Year). On Nyepi day, it is the day of silence where everyone stays inside. Hence, there is no cooking or music playing, even the lights stay off. The night before, however, is a big party with these Ogoh-Ogoh's being lifted through the streets by dozens of (often) men. They run, they jump, they scream and make these monsters fight each other by running at each other. The aim to break the monster with as much movement as possible anyway and then later that night they used to be set on fire too, but that is no longer allowed due to the plastic use in them.
