Java's Machine. 2008
Installation

Javanese syncretism is a strategy, a defensive mechanism to reconcile and negotiate contradictory beliefs and cultures. This can be seen in the costumes of Java's royal soldiers, that are in fact, collages of various cultures and traditions: Hindu, Islam, the West and local traditions.
