LALA
I’m Lala Nurlala, who doesn’t know where to come, or where to go. I have lived in the United States and Indonesia, but I don’t truly belong to any of them. Because there’s no culture I can completely identify with, I just watch them as an outside observer. I mainly observe pop culture and Indonesian traditional culture, though I can delve into other cultures as well.
One thing I can attach to is a character from Milo Murphy’s Law named Dr. Zone. With my art practice I often want to ask the question: what happens when a character isn’t regarded as important in the source material, but is then uplifted as the centerpiece in a different field and audience? This is part of why I’m interested in appropriation art. One’s interpretation of a medium can be vastly different from another, and it’s very interesting to see one’s dramatic take on another person’s work.
