Description

Made up of over 17,000 islands, Indonesia is the fourth most populous country on the planet.

It is home to hundreds of different ethnicities and languages, and a cultural identity that is therefore constantly in flux.

Like the country as a whole, the capital Jakarta is a multiplicity of irreducible, unpredictable and contradictory perspectives.

From down-and-out philosophers to roadside entertainers, the characters in these stories see Jakarta from all angles.

Traversing different neighbourhoods and social strata, their stories capture the energy, aspirations, and ever-changing landscape of what is also the world's fastest-sinking city.
