In Spirit, In Reality
Irfan Setiawan
DURATION: 4:00
This work is inspired by the ancient Malay speech literature of Bangka "Bedaek". The contents of the "Daek" have many meanings, messages of wills, and criticism. The existence of this speech inheritance is like metaphysical dimensions that are again confronted with the realities of humanity, the universe, and the spirit in the present.
IN SPIRIT, IN REALITY explores ancient speech reasoning through the perspective of motion, metaphor, and even presupposition of events. This work is like reading The Times amidst the variety of events as humans move quickly to heed utopia and are uprooted from their human principles.

F-O-R-M is based in so-called Vancouver, in what is colonially known as Canada, on the unceded and stolen traditional territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. F-O-R-M continues to reflect on and bring attention to connection to bodies, land and movement through filmmaking, documentation and storytelling. We are grateful to share and witness these stories together while inspiring movement towards positive change, wherever you may be.
