BAD GIRLS GO WANDERING

This project aims to document those who live outside of the heteronormative
temporal frameworks: individuals who resist the timelines that are constructed around
family, religion, longevity, inheritance, and marriage. Through Sara Ahmed’s queer
phenomenology and Jack Halberstam’s concepts of queer temporalities, I ask: What objects
become distant when one wanders off the beaten path, and what comes into frame? And
what new conceptions of time and space emerge from a life “unscripted”? The project is
based in Indonesia, as individuals wander between rural landscapes, alternative spaces,
and densely populated cityscapes, surrounded by the precarities of everyday life. These
photographs are a document of orientations, a testament to bodies that find their way.
