citylikeyou — Jogjakarta / Su Tomesen

Teguh Hartanto and Su Tomesen are visual artists based in Jogjakarta. Teguh’s mainly works with the media painting and screen printing but he also does street art with graffiti and stencil. He works spontaneously; the outcome is unpredictable and surprising. For him, the process is more important than the result. Su’s work consists of videos, photographs and installations, and she travels a lot. Working in the context of a residence abroad or on location is a means of putting her (European) position, ideas and being into discussion. She has been artist-in-residence in Belgrade, Amman and Johannesburg, and worked for an international video art project in Port-au-Prince, Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro.

Jogjakarta / Other

The motorbike is thé means of transportation in Jogja. With a car it takes you a lot more time to reach your destination. It is an Indonesian habit to NOT take off the helmet when going into a store or get food at a "warung makan". Yet there is a cycling culture as well in Jogja, there are several groups of (wealthy) youngsters who use a bicycle for leisure. In fashion is the "fixie". Sit on a bench at Jalan Malioboro at night and you will see them paddle past.

Jogjakarta / Street Food

Angkringan are covered food stalls on the streets and the amount increased after the crisis in 1998. Angkringan are successful because the food and drinks are very cheap. The menu offers a variety from nasi kucing (''rice for cat'': a small portion), chicken head and feet to a drink of blood from small birds mixed with honey. Characteristic of angkringan is that there are always three large kettles on the fire.

Jogjakarta / Street Food

The street vendors in Jogja, the "bakul" draw attention by the sounds they produce: every kind of food is announced by the sound of an object. A sound of a spoon on a plate is "rujak" (fruit), a cow bell is "satay", a spoon on a bowl of noodles is "bakso ayam". The sound of boiling water "putu" (coconut cake) and a cart with a loud speaker with LOUD "dangdut" music is "getuk" (cassava cakes). The latter is indicative of a trend: traditional sounds are gradually taken over by electronically amplified sounds.
