From the plush toy that accompanied you as bedtime stories lulled you to sleep to the novelty magnets bought during a family vacation, what personal belongings do you think of when you hear the word ‘family’?
The workshop is developed from Growing Pillars, the M+ Facade commission created by the Indonesian artist collective Tromarama. The artists invite adults and children alike to collaborate and create a short stop-motion animation, as well as share their family memories with a personal object. Drawing inspiration from the artists’ practice, participants can create their own animation using their personal items and printed photos.
Facing Victoria Harbour, M+ Facade is a unique outdoor display of the M+ building and showcases nightly screening of moving image works made by creators around the world. Created by Tromarama, Growing Pillars, the latest commission for M+ Facade, features objects, video clips, and photographs from their personal archives to compose these materials into a lateral filmic movement overlaid by animated objects from their childhood homes, evoking the intimacy of home and the intricacy of memory.

About the Artist
Tromarama is a Jakarta- and Bandung-based artist collective founded in 2006 by Febie Babyrose, Herbert Hans, and Ruddy Hatumena. The trio met while studying at the Institute Technology of Bandung, and they shortly started to create works that combined video, installation, computer programming, and public participation. Underpinning their artmaking is their interest in the influence of digital media on society’s perception of its surroundings. Channelling language, text, wit, and interaction, Tromarama reflects on the cornerstones of Indonesia’s political and cultural environment and on a form of perceptive engagement in our global hyperreality.
