A call comes from deep within a dream, recalling familial encounters with shadows in a photographic dark room. Haunting memories and ancestral ceremonies captured during the Netherlands' colonial rule of Indonesia come to light. As we see ways of life destroyed and farmers exploited to fuel the Dutch Empire, new layers of meaning and critical understandings of present-day power emerge.
