Jogja National Museum. Yogyakarta, Indonesia

An outdoor multimedia event in collaboration with the local food-cart community. transGROBAK recognises the unique importance of the system of 'mobile restaurants' in Indonesia. The food gerobak has an intimate relation to the body through cooking and livelihood... in fact it's like a body, or a species of bodies that service the city with their endless compartments for transforming ingredients and their noisemakers for calling out to customers. The gerobak is a body their operators depend upon... theirs is a daily journey of transformation, from kampung to city, from the gifts of the earth to cooking and conversation, from the action of skilled hands to the gratitude of their customers.
