NOTES:

A true believer, Aryo Toh Djojo reflects on his own experiences with unidentified flying objects here. Seeking to connect that mysterious extraterrestrial reality with things of-this-world, with the same approach, Toh Djojo draws out a detached relevance in his scenes of beauty, orbs, teenage rebellion, spirituality, cars, roads and ethereal light, deserted landscapes, highways. The overview he gives through his selection of images and symbols, gives insight into his own psyche as well as to ours.

Toh Djojo’s practice revolves around a freehand, layered airbrush technique breathing a multilayered approach to everyday reality of lived and perceived experiences. Appropriated images of intimate yet publicly available photos depict a sense of oneness and equalization of his chosen moments. Toh Djojo approaches his practice without an overarching thesis, but with an openness and observational point of view, like an anthropomorphized satellite roving the earth, looking for meaning inside the interactions of its human inhabitants.
