Reza Afisina

Born in 1977, Afisina is based in Depok, West Java. Whilst being an active member of the Jakarta-based artist collective ruangrupa and serving as the Artistic Director of ruangrupa Art Laboratory (ArtLab), Afisina’s concern has focused on establishing an alternative ecosystem through cultural activism. Working with a wide range of artistic forms from video to performance, he intentionally uses his body or objects of mass production in his work as a catalyst to bridge between his own entity and the global economic system.
He was invited to screen his video works at OK Video Festival in Jakarta (2003, 2010, and 2011), Jakarta Bienniale (2009), Move on Asia: The End of Video Art at Para/Site in Hong Kong (2010 and 2012) and City Net Asia, Seoul Museum of Art (2011).
