📸 Tommy Smits

Natasha Tontey (1989) is a Minahasan artist based between Yogyakarta and Jakarta. Her artistic practice predominantly explores the fictional accounts of the history and myths surrounding ‘manufactured fear.’ Through her work, she observes the possibilities of other futures that are projected not from the perspective of major and established institutions, but a subtle and personal struggle of the outcast entities and beings. Her fascination with speculative fiction finds expression in experimental video works and performances.⁠
⁠
In her first solo exhibition in the Netherlands, Macho Mystic Meltdown: Subtracted Anthology, Tontey weaves together personal, colonial, and ancestral histories to create three parallel worlds. Through fictionalised truths and speculative narratives, each video installation in the exhibition unfolds as three chapters of the series Macho Mystic Meltdown. As a visitor you are invited into psychedelic, witty universes where identity becomes fluid, open to transformation, and resistant to fixed categories.⁠
