In Wianta’s Dream Land, the irony
between the exhibition title and the exhibitions themselves is distinct. Wianta
reflects the situation in Bali during the period of the notorious terrorist
bombings that rocked the whole of South East Asia (Hendratmo-Brown, 2011). Images
of the horrific scenes and moments after the attacks are meant to be displayed
all over the viewing space. Eight human remains are placed, facing eight
different directions, on a dense pile of rice grains as the main installation
of the exhibition (Coteau, 2003, para. 4).
