Being 20 in Jjogjakarta, 1999
The largest archipelago state in the world, and the fourth most populous state, the Republic of Indonesia is at the crossroads of cultures. Between a historical link with Hinduism, and the current influences of Islam, the country is religiously and ethically very diverse.
In Yogyakarta, where the student revolt that put an end to the Suharto dictatorship started, the young generation invented democracy, in the smoke of mopeds, the fragrances of clove cigarettes, chatting in their rooms, is passionately rebuilding the world at a time when night falls on the city without public lighting.
