ABOUT

ミヅマアートギャラリーでは、インドネシアのジョグジャカルタを拠点に活動するアーティスト、イワン・エフェンディ（b.1979）の日本初個展を開催いたします。
エフェンディは 、バンドゥンのインドネシア教 育 大 学（ U n i v e r s i t a s
Pendidikan Indonesia, UPI）で視覚芸術を学んだ後、インドネシア芸術大学のジョグジャカルタ校(Institut Seni Indonesia Yogyakarta, ISI)へ編入、のちに妻となるマリア・トリ・スリスチャニに出会い、2006年共同で人形劇カンパニー、ペーパームーン・パペット・シアターを創立します。彼らの人形劇は、言葉を介さず、可愛くて不気味でグロテスクと形容される張り子人形を使って、アイデンティティと社会問題を問いかけるストーリー展開で人々を魅了してきました。
主に人形デザイナーとしての役割を務めるエフェンディは、
まずラフスケッチを描き、そこからキャラクターとなる人物の年齢、性別、サイズ、容姿などの細部を設定し、ドローイングを練り上げていきます。その後、紙と粘土を使って人形の立体的な土台を造形します。作家にとって、人形にふさわしい表情を見つけ出していくこの過程は最も重要で、常に困難を伴う作業でもあります。
人形劇では、静止した表情であっても、ジェスチャー、音響、照明によって多くの感情を繊細に表すことができますが、それを二次元でいかに雄弁に、動態を含み、その複雑な感情を伝えることができるか、エフェンディは探求し続けています。
本展では、ペーパームーンで上演してきた人形劇に登場するキャラクターをモチーフにした絵画、ドローイングをパペット、仮面とともにインスタレーションとして展示します。長年、人形の表情に魅了され続けてきたイワン・エフェンディがたどり着いた「表情」を、会場にて体感いただけますと幸いです。

articulate−雄弁なものたち
ペーパームーン・パペットシアターの共同芸術監督兼パペットデザイナーとして、私は、観客にとって人形の表情がいかに感情移入の入口になっているか、その重要性を深く理解してきた。私が「白昼夢を見ているような顔」と名付けた表情は、人形に命を吹き込み、彼らの物語を語る鍵となる。
それは単に静止した表情ではなく、見る人それぞれに幾多の意味を伝えることができる変幻自在の道具なのだ。
2010年、ペーパームーンで｢ムワティリカ（Mwathirika）」を上演した際の芸術的可能性の探求は、個人的な冒険だった。それは、60年代のインドネシアの政治的混乱（インドネシア全土で政変を機に起きた大虐殺）を発端に、喪失と恐怖というテーマを掘り下げた人形劇だった。
このとき、人形の微動だにしない顔の中にあるさまざまな感情を明確にする必要性を感じ、「白昼夢を見ている顔」というコンセプトの誕生につながった。
歴史的な出来事に遭遇した人々に取材し、彼らの物語をリサーチしたことで、私はキャラクターにどのような表情を持たせなければならないかに気が付いた。彼らが物語の中で悲しみを表現する前に、ある特定の文脈で悲しい出来事を思い出さなければならないことを理解し、その思い出す瞬間の表情というのは、神秘的で、表情として現れる前の瞬間、すなわち白昼夢を見ているような表情が現れる瞬間だと感じた。
その平坦で、空虚で、白昼夢を見ているような顔は、受動的な表情のように見えるが、その一方で、それらの表情は多くの感情を表現することができ、観客を映し出す鏡のような役割を果たすのだ。

Mizuma Art Gallery is pleased to present the first solo exhibition in
Japan of Iwan Effendi (b. 1979), an esteemed artist based in Yogyakarta,Indonesia.
Effendi studied visual arts at the Indonesian University of Education(Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia, UPI) in Bandung and, later, at theYogyakarta campus of the Indonesian Institute of the Arts (Institut SeniIndonesia Yogyakarta, ISI), where he met Maria Tri Sulistyani who would
later become his wife. In 2006, they co-founded the puppet theatrecompany Papermoon Puppet Theatre. Their puppet shows, which do not
rely on words, use papier-mâché puppets described as cute, eerie, andgrotesque to captivate audiences by exploring themes of identity andsocial issues through compelling storytelling.
Primarily serving as a puppet designer, Effendi begins by drawing roughsketches, from which he determines details such as the character's age,gender, size, and appearance, refining his drawings along the way. He
then creates a three-dimensional base for the puppet using paper andclay. For the artist, the process of finding the appropriate expression forthe puppet is always the most important and challenging task.
In puppet theatre, even with a still expression, a puppet can convey awide range of emotions through gestures, sound, and lighting. Effendi
continues to explore how to eloquently and dynamically express thesecomplex emotions two-dimensionally.
This exhibition will showcase paintings and drawings inspired bycharacters from Papermoon's puppet shows, alongside puppets andmasks, presented as an installation. We hope visitors will experiencethe "expressions" of the puppets that Iwan Effendi has reached and has
been fascinated by for many years.

articulate
As a co-artistic director and puppet designer at (Papermoon) puppet
theatre productions, I've come to appreciate how facial expressions
serve as the gateway for our audience's emotional investment in ourpuppets. These expressions, which I've dubbed ‘The Daydreaming Face‘,are the key to bringing our puppets to life and telling their stories. They
are not mere stillness, but a transformative tool that can convey a
multitude of meanings to each viewer.
My exploration of the artistic possibilities for Papermoon’s Mwathirika in2010 was a personal journey. It was a puppet performance that delved
into the themes of loss and fear, inspired by the political turmoil inIndonesia in the 60s. It was during this time that I felt the need to define
the wide range of emotions in the motionless face of the puppet, leading
to the birth of the ‘Daydreaming Face’ concept.
Researching and interviewing people about their stories during thehistoric event, made me realize what kind of expressions I should put on
the characters. I sense that before they express sadness in their story, they
already remember sad things in particular contexts, and it is theexpression they show at the point of remembering that I foundenigmatic, a preload moment, the moment before the expression isloaded on their face, the moment that the daydreaming face itself
appears.
That flat, empty, daydreaming face seems like a passive expression but,on the other hand, those expressions can articulate many emotions,acting as a mirror to the audience.
