Dozens of human figures with drums and weapons, motorbikes and horses meet each other in the middle of the big square in the Tropenmuseum’s Great Hall. This meeting produces a huge spectacle of light, sound and movement: drums begin to beat, hands start clapping and from the loudspeakers the sound of the revelry of a parade or the tumult of a demonstration can be heard. This art installation fits into the Great Hall of the Tropenmuseum like no other – the hall was designed as a square where the public would feel surrounded by the many cultures enriching the world. The ideal place for a monumental work by an artist who takes his inspiration from the world. Jompet is such an artist. In his work he shows a constantly changing world and the way in which the identity of individuals and groups change with it.
