Artist StatementÂ
Jessica Tanto grew up in the heavily religious and spiritual landscape of Java. Jessica started to join yoga classes and use well-being products in 2018 and recently became a certified yoga teacher. Through Mega Yoga, Jessica explores the discomfort and uncanny feelings they experience in the wellness industry as someone who grew up with strong connections to local religious and spiritual practices.
Mega Yoga has previously been shown as a participatory performance in Dancehouse and a yoga studio. The current exhibition brings together the documentation of these past performances and some new sculptural works which take the form of yoga merchandise.
Mega Yoga wouldn’t have been possible without some of the loveliest people I knowÂ
