About works

Rizki Lazuard'si body of works employs institutional power embedded in the audio-visual footage. His expanded cinema installation and experimental films often employ the materiality and gesture of archives as well as censorship. In his latest exploration, Lazuardi attempts to synthesize new narrative through the juxtaposition of two unrelated stories, histories, or simply images.
