Then on year 1999, I am carried away by one coterie at Solo that name self “Wayang Rakyat" (People Puppet Shadow). They play wayang (one that made from cardboard) taking everyday life story, are not based Mahabarata's story or Ramayana. The show of “Wayang Rakyat” no longer utilize screen as prevalent as its on wayang. Form its wayang (puppet) unique take after caricature images.
Upon watches that is I bethink: "they no longer play shadow because want to show form and image color that their for."
That think tacked on by question to thyself: "its principle is flat constant as shadow play. Unlike wayang golek (marionette) which gets three-dimensional doll form. If wants regular utilize flat puppet shadow, why doesn't make puppet shadow can result chromatic shadow?"
Between severally that experience, one thing that most strength and everlastingly emerges in memory is while a tender age play kelosan's cinema (kelosan, spool, cylinder around which thread. It has a central hole and at each end's ream).
While I be still little kid, I often play kelosan's cinema alone. Obviously peer is glad if available too comate one watch that time.
While I be still child, my parent is working as tailor. In consequence therefore my parent has there are many used spool be next I make main tool for its cinema kelosan.
Those two spools I fasten on two pillars (usually does splits chair or column table foot, I play under it). Between that spool I assemble at last yarn interaction. On yarn that is a number image is hung and is played. Its display is one sheet of cloth turn white, its light source of one candle.

This childhood game is perpetual tempt me. Caused by my astonishment on shadow, then pushes me make dance opus “ to Miro and Dali,” installation art “ Figure and Shadow,” “Metateater,” etc..
Gambarmotekar's appearance is while play around OHP'S light to drawn out artwork kind of “ metateater.”
But since that time its romp with to amount to children, therefore my orientation aim even becomes changed, more gets orientation to children gaiety.
There is too other think background that earlier emerging. On middle 1997, condition of our country on economy and Politics begins to fall. Children future descries to alarm; since moneyless therefore children life quality gets lower, and on the other hand, are other afraid while see largely that children time is utilized to watch television.
Be in front television, as we know, children was made by being passive, and indeed as shockingly consumptive, tend becomes not creative and unproductive.
Since that time, mostly thinks up to make something a bargain, modestly, maybe can utilize used things, not very domineers self to technology, and can be done with children, as part of their joy.
On it concern term arises one light game activity and shadow with children.
“Yes, image and shadow!” that is heart joy clamor that emerging.
Since then, by involves two art majors students STSI starts to do workshop up to four months.
Since previous experience which is “romp” by OHP (overhead projector), therefore attempt on phase is it first entirely gets orientation to OHP.
Image is made little to be able to been played on projection glass area OHP.
Little pictured attempt it finds time stage on 30th June 2001 at Pohaci's Studio, since then this artwork given by name “gambarmotekar” by Arthur S Nalan.
Of that stage experience is found many technical handicaps, for example: be hard its play image upon OHP eventually mastermind shall make a abode control to pictured projection at screen at a swoop has concentration too to plot.

Next is decided to make images with bigger size, approximately as size as wayang kulit (shadow play). On three next months, severally new images finished. Then new problem appearance! My friend, M Tavip and I find time at a loss, that projected new image by flood light as well as shadow play, apparently its result opaque, not focus. Finally various type puts off the light to be tried. Its result is constant: that image is woolly and not focus!
Succeeding attempt, image were taken in to go to theater stage "Rumentang Siang." All type puts off the light that is at "Rumentang Siang" even is tried.
Beginning of 250 watts lamp until 1.500 watt are downed and are tried. Its result still dissatisfactory.
My latter is that concept light source on shadow play can be clear since puppet shadow be formed from solid material (skin), so as is irradiated changed as silhouette what does massif (black and white).
While gambarmotekar image made from material a sort plastic, “open end ” to light, not massif, and indeed doesn't get silhouette's character; if there is lining on pictured that therefore its character makes a abode lining, color is colour, etc.
Of that instance, be on the scene conclusion, type puts off the light to have brightness once and has projection dot.
Even next attempt is done. One OHP is uncovered and taken by its lamp to be tried. OHP becomes to wreck while its result makes a abode haven't satisfied.
We get confused and convulsively because stage agenda have getting near. No other way, we shall continually try possible, in out about shop, buy a lot of kind puts off the light; try, change, make kind of reflector, etc..
But, up to three-month tries, its result just tire's and naught.
Until of an evening, M Tavip calls me from his house it with brawling voice that jolly, “Kang Herry, why is this we revolve to look for exotic lamp. Apparently can use flashlight... Flashlight, Kang Herry.”
“I ask for you downwards by now, we try,” answer me impatient.
A hundred ten minutes then Tavip emerges by take in get flashlight kinds, there is flashlight which is still whole, there is has already opened by its frame, there is has already tacked on by casing cardboard, there is that tacked on by little plastic circle, etc.
With that object, we both light romp until over midnight. Fair to middling and rather capacious, because (notably) flashlight already “is uncased” apparently can result image that approaches expectation. But, at weary end, I still to complain: “Vip, was goodly, but its light rans down once and just match if be played at room, won't brightness enough if be played at bandstand with wide screen.”
I can grope my best friend feel, Tavip; he was weary, all same disgruntled, but same also almost perceives can't get to remake.
The time has came to 02.00 over midnights, Tavip asks for self for goes home. His old motorbike it turns on, after its motorbike lives, he turns on too its lamp.
“Vip, wait for a while, bate previously, please its motorbike takes in here,” I said, then Tavip does what do I ask for, its motorbike enter to indoor, “not to be switched off previously its machine,” I said further while looking for one sheet of cloth turn white.
While holds white cloth, I ask for that Tavip beam lamp its motorbike towards cloth.
“Vip, its taste can, sit out, we try with image,” I get gambarmotekar image hastely, then that image is resident within motorbike lamp light and cloth.
Its result, Tavip and I mutually see, such a degree second then we all same smiling.
“For a while, Kang Herry,” say Tavip while turned out its motorbike, one soon that too it looks for screwdriver and open casing lamp his motorbike. After casing its lamp openended, he turns on be its motorbike and ask for me try again.
I don't know, our smile is sensed its getting broad, a sprinkling new expectation was emerging. But we realise that night was passing and have drawn near morning, after fix lamp his motorbike, Tavip finally goes home.
We, then, develop technics bases that motorbike lamp finding.

We develop gambarmotekar constitutes at the moment that motor principle puts off the light until now...
