Burning Body - Burning Country (II). 1999

 
 

Installation and performance at the conference "Women Imaging Women: Home, Body, Memory" in Manila.

The piece refers to a concrete incident: during a demonstration against the Suharto regime in May 1998, four students were killed. Riots and pillages, mostly directed against the Chinese population, were the consequence. Some 1,500 people were victim of the three days of terror and hundreds of women raped.
