A Victory Over Memorable Passage of Time

“I had memories back in my childhood. During the summer break, with a net and a plastic jar on my hand, spending my time trying to catch insects to fulfill my curiosity. Instead of insects, one day I saw this big black bird flying over my head. I was amazed and tried to catch it with my net, but I failed.

The excitement I had that day was more than everything that time. It laid in my memories as one of my victory, a victory over the memorable passage of time. This work showing the black bird ironically landed on my net at the end of the day – as a mocking act, since I never caught it. (R. Yuki Agriardi)


[en]I really enjoy recalling my childhood memories, one of them of playing in the front yard of my house. There always seems to be small, simple precious things i get from that place. Any small insignificant thing became interesting at the time.[/en]

[id]Saya suka sekali mengingat-ingat masa kecil saya, salah satunya ketika bermain di halaman rumah. Selalu ada hal-hal kecil sederhana dan berharga yang saya dapatkan disana. Hal sekecil apapun bisa jadi terasa sangat menarik ketika itu.[/id]

[en]R. Yuki Agriardi has translated one of his childhood memories into a creation he named A Victory Over Memorable Passage of Time. A clock whose form is based on an insect catching net. I view this clock as a simple and personal creation.[/en]

[id]R. Yuki Agriardi menerjemahkan salah satu memori masa kecilnya kedalam sebuah karya bertema A Victory Over Memorable Passage of Time. Sebuah jam yang bentuknya diambil dari jaring untuk menangkap serangga. Saya melihat karya ini sebagai sesuatu yang simple dan personal.[/id]

[en]This clock reminds me of how when we work hard to achieve something, only to finally receive it when we stop. And when I expressed my thoughts on it, R. Yuki Agriardi only replied, “I just thought of it as more like something comical or a joke,  the bird which perched on the net was more like a mocking act.”[/en]

[id]Karya ini mengingatkan saya akan sesuatu, yaitu kadang kita berusaha keras mendapatkan sesuatu, tetapi baru mendapatkannya ketika kita berhenti. Dan ketika saya mengatakannya, R. Yuki Agriardi berkata ”I just think something more like a comical or a joke,  the bird which perched on the net was more like a mocking act.”[/id]
