MAGNIFIED ORDINARY

Paras - Cultural Events in Bali - MAGNIFIED ORDINARY
In his solo exhibition, Magnified Ordinary, Devy Ferdianto invites you to slow down and see poetry in the common grounds. Through a mix of printmaking and everyday photography, this exhibition reflects on the small, intimate moments that often slip past us.

Tumpek Landep

While traditionally focused on ancestral heirlooms like keris (daggers) and spears, Tumpek Landep has expanded to include modern metal items such as cars, motorcycles, and computers. The ceremony, which involves offerings and prayers to Sang Hyang Pasupati (the deity governing metal objects), also serves as a metaphorical reminder to sharpen one's mind and wisdom.

Saraswati

Saraswati Day marks the celebration of Sang Hyang Aji Saraswati, commemorating the descent of knowledge. On this auspicious day, ceremonies are held to bless all sacred texts, lontar (palm-leaf manuscripts), and holy books. This is an act of reverence and gratitude to the Almighty for bestowing knowledge upon humanity.
