This exhibition examines the overlooked histories of the Peranakan Chinese in Indonesia through the lens of Jogjakarta’s first photographer, Lim Guat Bing who was also Peranakan Chinese. The artist recovers examples of Pernanakan cultural artifacts, which he 'excavates' from dilapidated Peranankan houses. The objects, primarily pieces of furniture, porcelain and Chinese texts, are re-interpreted by the artist.
