Germany, Indonesia, Singapore/ 2025 / 30 mins / No Dialogues
Through choreographed gestures and intimate interviews, Bendungan is a film premised upon the socio-spatial histories of water bodies such as seas, rivers, and the human body. It considers the memory of water, questioning how the sea and its waterways facilitated the Dutch colonial project across the Malay World (Nusantara).
