Arief Budiman

Known for: Directing

Born: September 26, 1994 in Bogor, West Java, Indonesia

Artist-filmmaker based in Yogyakarta, working with sonic traces, distorted histories, fabricated realities, desktop cinema, collage film, and media installations. His practice engages with speculative histories, public archives, and collective memory to uncover hidden and erased narratives. Using archives and technology as tools, he opens up alternative ways of reading the past, blending fiction and non-fiction to construct multi-layered narratives that function as alternative histories. His works often draw from personal memories, oral histories, and popular culture—such as novels, music, and film. More recently, he has developed methods involving non-human elements to trace histories of violence in Indonesia and across Asia. His works have received several awards and the Julius Baer – Next Generation Art Prize (2021). He is currently a member of two collectives in Yogyakarta, MES 56 and Piring Tirbing.
