Dripping Conditions (2008) a site-specific interactive video installation

Dripping Conditions is a video installation created for the Bienale in Jakarta in (tropical) raining season. The video reacts to the weather.  When it rains outside, water soaks a girl on screen; when the rain stops, she dries.  The installation represents how environmental instability caused by climate change clashes with modern society, which strives for control and predictability.   In the context of Indonesia, climate change is unfolding before a people with a history of colonial and dictatorial rule.  Having lived with injustice for so long, Indonesian society is accustomed to moving through the rain despite it. They can easily let injustice flow over there head till the sun shines again.
