About the series: Project Tobong: The British artist, Helen Marshall and the Indonesian photographer, Rishang Yuwono have collaborated to bring about Project Tabong. In late 2012 this project began with the one of the last remaining nomadic theatre troupes in Indonesia, Ketoprak Tobong Kelana Bakti Budaya. The artists documented the lives of this community in the outskirts of the city of Yogyakarta. Residing with them for two months, they devised a series of constructed photographs or tableau vivant (living pictures), where each performer was removed from his original context.
