Deskripsi Singkat
Adhya S. Ranadireksa, fotografer dengan fokus keahlian fotografi still life, merespon tawaran tema dari Platform3 “menyoal kolonialisme”, dengan mengetengahkan soal tubuh. Tubuh di sini adalah organ tubuh yang diurai, dipajang, juga diawetkan. Di mata Adhya, organ-organ tubuh serupa ilustrasi. Ia mengilustrasikan tindakan kolonialis menguasai manusia jajahan lebih pada “organ dalam”, pada penguasaan indera, pada cara berpikir, cara bicara, cara pandang, cara merasa, pendek kata cara kita memandang dunia pun memahami diri sendiri. Adhya memotret organ-organ tubuh dalam berbagai posisi yang menyarankan kiasan tertentu. Kiasan ini serupa ungkapan “lidah yang bercabang”. Organ-organ tubuh, ketika diperlakukan seperti itu, menampakan bagaimana kita, selain menjadikan tubuh sebagai objek tatapan, juga memaknainya. Bagi Adhya, pemaknaan ini berdasar pada keyakinan bahwa penguasaan ala kolonialisme menjangkau jauh melebihi pengertian harfiah “koloni”.

Here is the organ of the body of a decomposed body, displayed, is also preserved. In the eyes Adhya, similar organs of illustration. He illustrates the action of human collectivities colonialist control over the “internal organs”, on the mastery of the senses, in ways of thinking, way of talking, ways of view, how to feel, in short, the way we view the world even understand ourselves. Adhya photographing organs in various positions which suggest a specific figure. This metaphor similar to the phrase “a forked tongue.” Organs of the body, when treated as such, reveals how we, in addition to the body as an object of stares, also interpret.
