LONG AND BORING ROAD





What a life today. I have meeting in three places in the business district where the Jakarta worst traffic jam is. Hundreds cars plus public transports are mingling side by side at their lowest speed. Actually, it doesn't matter, it's a part of the risk that should be taken if you live in the big city. My problem is wherever my eyes go I only see the similarities, same car same color (different brand of course), and I think who should responsible for this? Car companies. They produce thousands similar car, thousand similar color. They create our world became like this now. Of course it will be expensive for people buying a customized car. But people will buy it anyway if they don't have a choice. Like when we see people pictures in early years, they all had suits, wore suits for everyday life. It's an expensive outfit but since there's no one selling t-shirt, what can you do?

Here is an artwork from Agus Suwage for BMW, a porcelain style car, exhibited in Jakarta a month ago.
