The Balinese tradition of Ogoh Ogoh

- American filmmaker and photographer Travis Barron travelled to Bali for his latest film-an awe-inspiring anthropological portrait of the country's Nyepi festival, where silence, parade and meditation drive away the evils that plague all living beings. Barron follows a team of Balinese artists as they build an Ogoh-Ogoh statue: a towering, demonic form of bamboo, grass, and papier-mâché. These terrifying constructions become possessed by malign spirits during the course of the festival, which are subsequently purged at the end of the celebration-driving away any odious entities that have accumulated within these surreal sculptures. Barron, whose previous film work has taken him from Tokyo to Bangkok, explains: “The statues range from corrupt princes and demons to Hindu gods, and are designed to be as terrifying as possible. Each Ogoh-Ogoh requires a month of painstaking assembly, before being burned to banish the evil spirits. Until the next year.”
