I Gede Made Surya Darma

 
 

The greater part of the population in Bantul lives from farming, especially rice cultivation. Perhaps that is why many of the viewers followed the piece by Made Surya Darma, of Bali, so meditatively. He arranged pieces of brushwood on whose ends he mounted plastic war toys like tanks and bombers into a kind of bouquet. He then "planted" the sticks individually in a rice field. A friend standing beside me was completely astonished and spontaneously commented: "This is surely the title ‘Planting the Military in our Rice Fields’."
