Bagus Pandega Examines Extractivism & Ecology at Swiss Institute NYC
“Daya Benda” at New York’s Swiss Institute presents Indonesian artist Bagus Pandega grappling with resource extraction—from the colonial-era spice trade through contemporary minerals. Featured installations include Hyperpnea Green (2024), which pumps oxygen as viewers exhale CO2, and Anim Wraksa (2025), where a tree branch is nickel-plated and the transformation is broadcast. Of note: Putar Petir Racing Team (2025), an EV motorcycle built from scratch and inspired by Javanese street racing.
