瑪塔哈里的 9 種姿態 #1 Nine Mata Hari Centhini #1

The pieces are all consisted with words and phrase in context. This is just one of the red hot Indonesia artist, Eddy Susanto’s style of art. Whatever the motif is the international spy, Old Testament, or economic theory, they all speak out how Susanto’s ideas about cultural identity and coordination, as much as the importance of understanding one another among different culture backgrounds. This magnificent piece is about the nine seductive movements of Mata Hari, a Dutch exotic dancer and courtesan who was convicted of being a spy for Germany during World War I and executed by firing squad in France. The idea of an exotic dancer working as a lethal double agent using her powers of seduction to extract military secrets from her many lovers made Mata Hari an enduring archetype of the femme fatale. Delving into the Susanto’s work, you can notice a focus towards the key figures and moments of the history of interaction between East and West. Susanto’s vast knowledge of history both of Europe and Asia and his philological attention for detail are not merely conceptual. His work has a very attractive formal aspect to it, conveying sensuality through colors and body gestures.
