Adhya Ranadireksa: Split Tongue (2010)

| | 0 comments

When I think about the so-called “postcolonial”, my attention on something that is inherited from the colonial period. Understanding colonialism does not refer only to the literal sense-the colony’s lawyers, but also synonymous with imperialism and feudalism. This is the negative part of colonialism, and values is what actually forwarded by the ruler of the heir to the colonial power.

These values relate to criminal restraint involves ways of thinking, way of talking, ways of view, how to feel, in short, the way we view the world even understand ourselves. These things then me illustrate with a specific treatment on the organs of the body, which is part of the body that govern our perception of the world. This illustration similar metaphor, as reflected in the expression “a forked tongue.

"For me the body organ is the “subtle body” that connect the outer body and spirit that’s in there. Spirit is not willing, “subtle body” who willed. Back on colonialism, for me, follow the colonial powers took aim our “subtle bodies”.
