Angkringan (Food Stall) Installation (2017)
“Angkringan” is a prevalent street food cart, usually spotted on the curbside of streets, where the middle class typically will gather and eat “nasi bungkus” whilst talking about current events and political landscape.
“Nasi bungkus” is a rice meal wrapped in banana leaf, used here by Ubrux as a symbol of equality and solidarity. Indeed, Ubrux meant to juxtapose the irony between the “nasi bungkus” symbol of the poor, middle-class society with the “wrapped rice paper” which carries pictures and the controversy surrounding the few ruling elites who bury people’s voices through the media narrative.
The contrast between the newspaper and the concept of the installation itself is Ubrux sophisticated accentuation of his concern with political foci tending to drift away from the focus on the people.
