Acclaimed Indonesian artist FX Harsono was dressed in jeans and T-shirt and was patiently setting up his installation work titled Shadow Of Identity at Wei-Ling Gallery in Kuala Lumpur at the time of this interview, just days before the And The Invader’s Fear Of Memories exhibition was to open.

The gallery assistants stood nearby watching him work and were quick to assist the artist.
