Photobook
It’s so unexpected that The Banda Journal, the book from the project I produced collaboratively with the writer Fatris MF, and designed by Jordan Marzuki, won the Paris Photo-Aperture Foundation Photobook of the Year Awards 2021. Earlier, we already so happy to know that we’re in the shortlist. But we never really thought that we would win. So it was a really nice surprise for the end of this turbulent year.

It’s really unexpected that my project ‘Rebel Riders’ about the Indonesian Extreme Vespa community is becoming my very first monograph. The project was initially started only early last year during my participation of Obscura Photofestival’s Southeast Asian Photography Masterclass under mentorship of Jörg Brüggemann and Tobias Kruse. During the course of the project, my love of the subject started to grow. So after the masterclass was over I decided to continue the project. I wouldn’t say that the photographs only will be amazing, but it’s also because the one who designed it: Calin Kruse from Dienacht
