IN DEVELOPMENT – This two-channel video installation stages a tense encounter between landscape and testimony, with two screens facing each other in a charged spatial dialogue. One screen shows a still image of the eroding remains of a Rohingya boat on a tourist beach in East Aceh, recorded one year after its arrival, where wind, sunlight, and waves slowly wear away its skeletal structure amid a lively holiday setting. On the opposite screen, a refugee figure, seen from behind, silently traces a route on a map from Cox’s Bazar across the Andaman Sea to Aceh, performing a quiet cartography of uncertainty. The voice of Sarbini, an Acehnese former refugee, reads aloud the testimony of a Rohingya survivor and co-artist Yunus Arakani, recounting their arrival after days at sea and the refusal they faced from local residents. Interwoven with archival footage of tourists surrounding the stranded boat while refugees remain onboard at night, the installation binds personal memory and collective displacement, offering a meditation on fragile survival and human presence.
