Over the past ten years, these two artists have explored and investigated the notions of horror, terror, and \u201cbad taste\u201d in popular culture through a series of moving-image practices. Their interest in observing and dissecting social, technological, and ecological issues is rooted in Indonesia\u2019s landscape and social dynamics. The studio produces works that embody a deviant, experimental aesthetic, while remaining aware of the planet\u2019s ecological state.<\/p>\n<p>Growing up on campy horror cinema of the \u201980s and \u201990s, science fiction pulp literature, ghost stories, the underground scene, Indonesian soap operas, and engaging in radical politics and indigenous movements, Natasha and Riar transform the codes of B-grade media and popular culture to create fictional narratives in which ecological and social issues are dissected in an abstract and occasionally \u201cbad taste\u201d manner. Recently, they have referred to their work as a \u201cnew style of pessimism,\u201d a term reflecting both their artistic practice and their pessimistic stance on social and ecological conditions in Indonesia\u2014and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>In this screening, New Pessimism presents four works, all examining the relationship between humans, technology, and the land beneath their feet. Two of these films,\u00a0<strong>Garden Amidst the Flame<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>Other Tomorrows Never Known by Natasha Tontey<\/strong>, centre on the dynamics of the Minahasa indigenous community in North Sulawesi, Indonesia\u2014Natasha\u2019s place of origin. These works explore how the community perceives technology and ritual, portrayed through a campy, maximalist visual style. The other two films,\u00a0<strong>Tellurian Drama<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>Fossilis<\/strong>\u00a0by Riar Rizaldi, focus on land, colonialism, the future, and technology (both ancient and futuristic). Collectively, these four works illustrate a vibrant, intricate, and dramatic interplay between landscape and humanity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\" span_10_of_10\">\n<div class=\"english correttore_pagina left\">\n<p>The event is part of\u00a0<i>Vibrant Natures.
