Reenvisioning The Old Town of Semarang
Thursday, August 17, 2017Early this month I visited the old town (Kota Lama) Semarang. This place has for so long struggled to preserve its colonial heritage despite the monthly flood coming from the sea.
I try to re-envision what this place might look like in the early twentieth century by using a digital wet plate technique. Thank you for coming.
