My current focus is on how European scientists' knowledge production about the camphor tree in the mid-19th century, along with the invention of celluloid films in the Global North, contributed to the tree's extinction. This loss has significantly altered the kinship between the Batak people and the camphor forest, impacting our livelihoods, prompting population migrations, and necessitating participation in modernity, which has resulted in intergenerational loss. In this performance, I explore storytelling as an intimate sharing practice through hand massage. The performance serves as a means to remember and embody the information gathered during my research. The camphor balm melts into scents and warmth on the skin, intertwining with the stories to transform into a living memory.

of dryobalanops aromatica, a critically endangered species of Camphor tree once widespread in Sumatra. Caniago's research has led him to dryobalanops aromatica specimens from Indonesia at Kew Gardens archive and herbarium, where they held the leaves and seeds of this tree - which holds great significance in his community. This particular form of massage comes from the artist's childhood with his grandmother as a way for him to listen to stories from his grandmother about the history of the family and family roots. Weaving together storytelling, personal and collective memory, Caniago revealed connections between migration, colonisation and ecology as he delivers massage activities to the audience.

This game encourages an unconventional reading of both texts, where players select a black card and fill in the gaps with answers from white cards. The black and white cards are displayed side-by-side on the wall. The text on the white cards is derived from translations of Hamzah Fansuri’s Syair Perahu(The Song of a Boat), as translated by Johan Doorenboos in De Geschriften Van Hamzah Pansoeri (1933) and Burton Raffel in The Development of Modern Indonesian Poetry(1967). The black cards feature excerpts from the translation of Abel Janszoon Tasman’s journal (1642-1644), edited by J.E. Heeres (1898). Installation View This collaborative work with Raisa Kamila is part of the Composing Archipelagos project at Contemporary Art Tasmania, Australia, and is curated by Jasmin Stephens. Additional InformationGame Concept: Participants read and interact with historical texts in a playful manner.Objective: To foster a deeper understanding of the historical narratives and cultural contexts of both writers through engagement and creativity. https://aliansyahcaniago.com/Mortal-Immortal-Leaves-from-The-Same-Tree Sun, 05 Nov 2023 08:40:43 +0000 aliansyahcaniago.com https://aliansyahcaniago.com/Mortal-Immortal-Leaves-from-The-Same-Tree Mortal Immortal&nbsp;
