Menuju Pemutaran Kidlat Tahimik
Selasa, 14 Agustus 2018, bertempat di Kineforum, Taman Ismail Marzuki, Jakarta yang menjadi salah satu lokasi acara ARKIPEL homoludens – 6th Jakarta International Documentary and Experimental Film Festival, Kidlat Tahimik menyajikan karya instalasinya menjelang acara penayangan dua filemnya yang termasuk dalam program Focus on Kidlat Tahimik yang dikurasi oleh Merv Espina. Pada kesempatan itu, Sardono, salah seorang penari ternama Indonesia, hadir di sela-sela acara untuk bersua dengan Kidlat. Kidlat dan Sardono bisa dikatakan satu generasi dalam ranah seni di Asia Tenggara. Penanda itu bisa kita lihat pada karya performans Metaekologi Sardono (1979) dan filem Perfumed Nightmare (1979). Pada pertemuan informal di Kineforum itu, mereka berdua lebih banyak memperbincangkan sejumlah arsip yang mereka bawa masing-masing, di mana Kidlat menunjukan foto ibunya bersama Soekarno sementara Sardono menunjukkan sebuah buklet tentang pameran arsip mengenai tariannya ketika di Singapura. Mereka sebelumnya juga pernah bertemu di Nancy Festival Perancis.

Heading to the Program of Kidlat Tahimik
Tuesday, August 14 2018, located at the Kineforum, Taman Ismail Marzuki, Jakarta that has become one one of the venues for ARKIPEL homoludens – 6th Jakarta International Documentary and Experimental Film Festival, Kidlat Tahimik also presented his installation work when two of his films were about to be screened under the program of Focus on Kidlat Tahimik curated by Merv Espina. At that time, Sardono, one of Indonesia’s famous dancers, came to ARKIPEL to meet Kidlat. Kidlat and Sardono can be said to be in one generation in the art scene in Southeast Asia. Such a benchmark can be seen from the performance Metaekologi Sardono (1979) and the film Perfumed Nightmare (1979). In this informal meeting in Kineforum, the two talked mostly about the archives they brought; Kidlat with the photograph of his mother with Soekarno while Sardono showed a booklet of an archival exhibition of his dance when he was in Singapore. They‘ve met in the Nancy Festival France before.
