Syafiq from Banana Paper







Paper is often treated as submissive and disinterested—a neutral surface, willingly shaped by whatever is asked of it. Yet no material has become so culturally indispensable while remaining so materially withdrawn. Attention passes through it toward what it carries—image, text, archive—as though its significance lay only in its function.


This exhibition begins from that withdrawal, asking whether paper has ever been merely a neutral support. Before becoming a sheet, paper exists as pulp: fibre, water, pressure, time. That history never fully disappears—it remains folded into the plane, unsettling its apparent transparency.


Four artists trace this instability from different directions. Widi Pangestu returns to paper’s origins in fibre and papermaking tradition. Irfan Hendrian lets reproduction generate its own excess, layering print until surplus becomes structure. Mujahidin Nurrahman works by subtraction, cutting until absence itself becomes form. Setiawan Sabana extended paper into accumulation and archive, where meaning emerges through relation rather than any single sheet.


Between addition and removal, between what precedes the work and what remains after it, paper is approached here not as a finished object, but as an ongoing negotiation.
