„I do” by Kelvin Atmadibrata

“And……, do you take ….. to be your husband, your best friend, and the love of your life?”

“I do,” he mouthed the words. Then everything fell silent as he watched the two grooms share a kiss.‍

Kelvin Atmadibrata activates superpowers awakened by a second puberty and youthful fantasies. He works primarily in performance, though his works are often accompanied by and translated into drawings, collages, and installations.

The evening draws on the exchange of wedding vows from three works—two earlier performances from last year and a new piece created during his residency at PART. Carried by a rush of adrenaline and uttered as a softly formed “I do”—not by the two grooms at the altar, but by an unknown guest or a third figure. A moment of both intimate and profound significance unfolds.
