Through performances and video, Satya Yogyatmaja explores the state of being present in the moment. “I use simple gestures of body movement and stillness to become aware of the little moments in life. Glimpses of breathing, standing, walking, and lying down become repeated motions in my practice”.
“These actions respond to different locations, switching between nature and manufactured buildings. The gestures performed within these changing surroundings reflect the relationship of an individual with the world. By oscillating between being present and absent in these spaces, I embrace how things in life easily come and go with time. In the middle of silence and surrounding sounds, I welcome opportunities with viewers to become aware of the inner voice we all share in the moment of the now.”
