INTERVIEW WITH ANDI PRABANDARU
-Could
you tell us a story about how Klastic is formed?
+Klastic
was formed four years ago, at 7 December 2008. It began from a forum in the internet world; Kaskus that
is. Firstly, the severity is only in forum but finally it was agreed to meet
live in 7 December in Bandung. Jogja itself sent some representatives in that
meeting, and then there was born Klastic.
-Why
did you choose photos as your art media?
+Klastic
choose photos as media because we are interested in photography’s world
especially in which still use the film and the limited settings, such as camera
Io-fi compared with digital camera.
-What
about the creativity of Klastic itself?
+The
creativity process can be said sourced from its personals and members inside.
Here, the creativity process is done with sharing.
-So,
how does your first time know Lir? And what is your reason for exhibiting at
Lir?
+Sandi
Kalifadani firstly introduced Lir to me. It was around fasting month 2011, at
that time he offered me Ngabubulir. The reason why I take Lir is that the place
is like home.
Besides that, Lir itself has become the right place for artists in Jogja.
-What
about the process of cultivating the Toycam Loves Jogja exhibition? Is there
any reason for carrying theme “Toycam Loves Jogja” itself?
+The
cultivation Toycam Loves Jogja exhibition can be said in a short time. It was
aimed to celebrate the world toycam day. Despite it was short, Klastic itself
was really helped with the advises from Dito Yuwono. The reason why the theme
is Toycam Loves Jogja is because we also celebrate Jogja’s birthday at the same
time.
-What
Lir brings for Klastic’s creativity?
+From
the exhibition itself, Klastic got learning process, particularly from Dito
Yuwono, such as how to concept the exhibition installation.
-What
will you do after having exhibition in Lir? Could you tell about Klastic’s next
project?
+After
this, Klastic has agendas to exhibit again and more focus to develop the
photography’s concepts to my friends in Klastic. So we are not haphazardly in
taking photos, but we can tell stories through photos.

WAWANCARA DENGAN ANDI PRABANDARU
-Bisa berbagi cerita tentang proses terbentuknya Klastic?
+ Klastic terbentuk 4 tahun yg lalu, tepatnya tanggal 7
Desember 2008, awal mula terbentuknya klastic dimulai dr sebuah forum di dunia
maya yaitu kaskus. Semula intensitas hanya di forum dan akhirnya bersepakat
untuk Kopdar pada tanggal 7 Desember tersebut di Bandung. Jogja sendiri
mewakilkan beberapa orang dalam kopdar di bandung tersebut, dan sekaligus
lahirlah Klastic.
-Mengapa memilih fotosebagai medium berkesenian?
+ Klastic memilih foto sebagai medium karena memang kami
tertarik dengan dunia fotografi terutama fotografi yang masih menggunakan film,
dan pengaturan yang masih terbatas, misalnya kamera lo-fi dibandingkan dengan
menggunakan kamera digital.
- Proses kreatif di Klastic sendiri seperti apa?
+. Proses kreatif sendiri bisa dibilang dari para
personilnya dan anggota di dalamnya. Di sini proses kreatif dilakukan dengan sharing.
-Bagaimana awal mula berkenalan denga nLir? Dan
apa alasan berpameran di Lir?
+ Mas Sandi Kalifadani yg pertama memperkanalkan dengan
Lir. Pertama kali kalo gak salah
ketika pada bulan puasa tahun 2011, ketika itu ditawari Ngabubulir. Alasan
berpameran di Lir, karena tempatnya yang homy.
Di samping itu Lir sendiri sudah menjadi tempat yg strategis bagi seniman seniman
di jogja.
-Bagaimana proses penggarapan pameran Toycam
Loves Jogja? Dan apa alasan di balik mengusung tema "Toycam Loves Jogja"
itu sendiri?
+Penggarapan pameran Toycam Loves Jogja, bisa dibilang
sangat singkat. Karena pameran ini bertujuan untuk meperingati hari toycam sedunia, world toycam day. Walaupun singkat, tetapi Klastik sendiri sangat
terbantu dengan adanya saran-saran dari mas Dito Yuwono.
Alasan kenapa temanya Toycam Loves Jogja,
adalah sebab selain memperinganti hari toycam
sedunia, juga memperingati hari jadi Jogja.
-Pameran di Lir membawa apa kepada Klastic dan
proses kreatif di Klastic?
+ Dari pameran itu, Klastic sendiri mendapatkan banyak
pembelajaran, terutama dari mas Dito Yuwono. Misalnya, dari sana kami
mendapatkan ilmu bagaimana mengkonsep instalasi pameran.
-Apa yang dilakukan setelah berpameran di Lir?
Bisa ceritakan sedikit tentang (rencana) proyek-proyek Klastic selanjutnya?
+
Setelah berpameran di Lir, Klastic sendiri mempunyai agenda untuk berpameran
lagi dan lebih fokus dalam pengembangan konsep-konsep fotografi bagi
teman-teman yg ada di dalam Klastic. Sehingga bukan cuma asal-asalan membuat
foto tetapi juga bisa lebih bercerita lewat foto.
