About this Song
Within the artist’s body of work, which consistently interrogates the unspoken assumptions that shape how modern people engage with their pasts, Entah Dongeng Entah Sejarah stands as one of the most direct explorations of the line between myth and recorded history, leaning into the ambiguity that defines so much of human understanding of collective memory. The core question that animates the work is one that has lingered in the background of the artist’s broader practice, but here it is brought to the forefront: what if our definition of reality is far too narrow, limited by a framework that only recognizes as true what can be proven through empirical, scientific means, backed by tangible, authentic evidence like ancient stone inscriptions or prehistoric fossils? For most modern people, this line between fact and fiction feels unassailable, a universal benchmark that separates the real events of the past from the fables and legends we create to explain the parts of the world we cannot yet parse.
