Responding to Place - Managing Fear: Cikapundung Market, Bandung, Indonesia.

​

The hallways look deserted, but every corner feels alive. Every antiquity presented, from which is recorded the memory of the events of previous ownership. The memory recorded earlier I accidentally imagined being something scary. I assumed something was dwelling out of it.

​

As a timid person, for me, Cikapundung Antique Market which is my playground with the RAWS Syndicate (a photography collective based in Bandung, Indonesia) is a scary place, especially at night. A warm place to chat with friends, but also hold another experience of fear itself.

​

Through photography, I try to manage the fears I have. I circled the place at night. Questioning whether this fear is natural and the extent to which it can be managed.
