Twelve hundred miles east of Java, which hosts the country\u2019s capital, lies a cluster of a dozen volcanic islets that form the Banda Islands. The tiny archipelago was, for many centuries, the sole source of a spice that prompted the establishment of Dutch colonial rule in Indonesia: nutmeg. The atrocities of colonization, briefly covered in history lessons in junior high school, kept bugging photographer Muhammad Fadli. \u201cHow could Westerners travel such great distances to hunt and massacre for a spice?\u201d, he asked, reflecting on boat trips in rough seas from Jarkata to Banda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"849\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/matca.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TBJ_BOOK_NEWTMP_0001-1024x849.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18409\" srcset=\"https:\/\/matca.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TBJ_BOOK_NEWTMP_0001-1024x849.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/matca.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TBJ_BOOK_NEWTMP_0001-300x249.jpg 300w, https:\/\/matca.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TBJ_BOOK_NEWTMP_0001-770x638.jpg 770w, https:\/\/matca.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TBJ_BOOK_NEWTMP_0001-1536x1273.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/matca.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TBJ_BOOK_NEWTMP_0001-370x307.jpg 370w, https:\/\/matca.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TBJ_BOOK_NEWTMP_0001-585x485.jpg 585w, https:\/\/matca.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TBJ_BOOK_NEWTMP_0001-1155x957.jpg 1155w, https:\/\/matca.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TBJ_BOOK_NEWTMP_0001-293x243.jpg 293w, https:\/\/matca.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TBJ_BOOK_NEWTMP_0001-1400x1160.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/matca.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TBJ_BOOK_NEWTMP_0001.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"849\" src=\"http:\/\/matca.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TBJ_BOOK_NEWTMP_0001-1024x849.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18409\" srcset=\"https:\/\/matca.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TBJ_BOOK_NEWTMP_0001-1024x849.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/matca.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TBJ_BOOK_NEWTMP_0001-300x249.jpg 300w, https:\/\/matca.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TBJ_BOOK_NEWTMP_0001-770x638.jpg 770w, https:\/\/matca.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TBJ_BOOK_NEWTMP_0001-1536x1273.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/matca.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TBJ_BOOK_NEWTMP_0001-370x307.jpg 370w, https:\/\/matca.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TBJ_BOOK_NEWTMP_0001-585x485.jpg 585w, https:\/\/matca.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TBJ_BOOK_NEWTMP_0001-1155x957.jpg 1155w, https:\/\/matca.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TBJ_BOOK_NEWTMP_0001-293x243.jpg 293w, https:\/\/matca.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TBJ_BOOK_NEWTMP_0001-1400x1160.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/matca.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TBJ_BOOK_NEWTMP_0001.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:15%\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:15%\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:70%\">\n<p>Fadli finally set foot on Banda in 2014, joining fellow journalist and travel writer Fatris MF. The duo then embarked on a collaborative documentary project enquiring into Banda&#8217;s colonial history and its long-lasting impacts on local residents. Three years and 150 film rolls later, <em>The Banda Journal<\/em> materialized into a book published by the local independent publisher Jordan, jordan \u00c9dition, and recently won <a

Photo-Aperture Foundation PhotoBook of the Year<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking the form of a travel journal with eight chapters, the book captivates us from the very cover: a fractured figure of a British Royal Navy officer is wrapped in a striking red web-like pattern, hinting at the skin of nutmeg and past bloodshed.\u00a0Essays, notes from the road, students&#8217; letters are interlaced with portraits of present-day islanders and lush landscapes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through an online interview, Fadli shared in detail about the book-making process, their position as documentarians rather than historians, the virtue of taking it slow, and the fundamental communal aspect of the project.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"

What was the motivation behind your initial preference for digital publishing?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When Fatris and I decided to work on the project, we saw many examples of how multimedia was used to deliver strong storytelling, and thought that could be effective for this story. I hesitated to think about making a book because for me, the photobook culture here remains mostly confined within photography circles. I was not interested in doing a photography project only to be shown to my fellow photographers. We want the story to be accessible to a large audience. Now that the book has been published, we will still release the project on the website as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Could you tell us about the design process? The book contains a considerable amount of text intertwined with the images and it would seem insufficient to consider it solely as a photobook.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the very beginning, designer <a href=\"https:\/\/jordanjordan.co\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Jordan Marzuki<\/span><\/a> and I have discussed how the book would be read by people. We had no desire to make a coffee table book. We\u2019d like people to actually read it and not simply browse through the pictures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With that in mind, we use book paper to offer a pleasant reading experience. We sacrifice a little in terms of picture production, but that\u2019s not a big deal at all because the images don\u2019t take centre stage in this book. It\u2019s not whether I as a photographer or Fatris as a writer has a more significant role. The essential thing is to tell the story, whether through the photos, the text or the design. The design is very functional. Every aspect of the book that you see serves a storytelling purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My initial idea was for the main text to be written in Indonesian language and the English translation printed in a small separate booklet, but Jordan pointed out that no one would read that and decided to make the book bilingual. Indonesian and international audiences are equally important to us, since the story is relevant to anyone interested in the history of colonization and the modern economy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:15%\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-text-align-right is-style-default is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>The experience was rewarding for me not in terms of achievement but on a personal level.

As we\u2019re no experts in playing with archives, we don\u2019t want to introduce materials that might be too complicated. If we consider ourselves as artists and experiment too much, our work may lose intelligibility. Many people in Banda helped us in this project, so we have to try our best to deliver the story because we owe that to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The final pages present a series of scanned letters written by Bandanese students, which I think is a kind of archive in the making.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Upon Fatris\u2019 first visit to Banda, he was invited to teach at a local junior high school. There, he gave the students an assignment where they would write in any form, a letter or prose, about their daily life. The resulting texts reveal how the young Bandanese see themselves \u2013 how they think, how they have fun after school, their hopes and dreams, which I think would be impossible to get in any other way. Normally, it isn\u2019t quite obvious for us Indonesians to articulate ourselves. Writing provides these students a medium to express themselves, which also allows the readers to get immersed in the Bandanese mind.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:15%\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignfull are-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"848\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/matca.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TBJ_BOOK_NEWTMP_0008-1024x848.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18424\" srcset=\"https:\/\/matca.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TBJ_BOOK_NEWTMP_0008-1024x848.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/matca.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TBJ_BOOK_NEWTMP_0008-300x248.jpg 300w, https:\/\/matca.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TBJ_BOOK_NEWTMP_0008-770x638.jpg 770w, https:\/\/matca.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TBJ_BOOK_NEWTMP_0008-1536x1272.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/matca.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TBJ_BOOK_NEWTMP_0008-370x306.jpg 370w, https:\/\/matca.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TBJ_BOOK_NEWTMP_0008-585x485.jpg 585w, https:\/\/matca.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TBJ_BOOK_NEWTMP_0008-1155x957.jpg 1155w, https:\/\/matca.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TBJ_BOOK_NEWTMP_0008-293x243.jpg 293w, https:\/\/matca.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TBJ_BOOK_NEWTMP_0008-1400x1160.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/matca.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TBJ_BOOK_NEWTMP_0008.jpg 1811w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"848\" src=\"http:\/\/matca.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TBJ_BOOK_NEWTMP_0008-1024x848.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18424\" srcset=\"https:\/\/matca.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TBJ_BOOK_NEWTMP_0008-1024x848.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/matca.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TBJ_BOOK_NEWTMP_0008-300x248.jpg 300w, https:\/\/matca.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TBJ_BOOK_NEWTMP_0008-770x638.jpg 770w, https:\/\/matca.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TBJ_BOOK_NEWTMP_0008-1536x1272.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/matca.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TBJ_BOOK_NEWTMP_0008-370x306.jpg 370w, https:\/\/matca.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TBJ_BOOK_NEWTMP_0008-585x485.jpg 585w, https:\/\/matca.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TBJ_BOOK_NEWTMP_0008-1155x957.jpg 1155w, https:\/\/matca.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TBJ_BOOK_NEWTMP_0008-293x243.jpg 293w, https:\/\/matca.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TBJ_BOOK_NEWTMP_0008-1400x1160.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/matca.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TBJ_BOOK_NEWTMP_0008.jpg 1811w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption>The bowler hat-shaped Gunung Api Banda volcano, an active volcano.

You raised the question of whether it is \u201c<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/manual.co.id\/article\/the-banda-journal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">possible to use the same tools [employed by colonizers for their agenda] to achieve a different result<\/span><\/strong><\/a><strong>\u201d. How did you put that idea into practice?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We can have the intention to achieve a different result, but the result could still not match our intention. So we have to keep questioning what we do and the image-making process itself. The camera that I used was not suitable to capture actions. My pictures of the locals are mostly portraits, which sometimes even look staged. I\u2019d like my pictures to empower people.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The questioning does not concern photography alone but also writing. In the text, we try to include people&#8217;s voices as much as possible. For example, the last chapter \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/historibersama.com\/song-from-another-land-the-banda-journal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Song From Another Land<\/span><\/a>\u201d seeks to recount the story of the descendants of the indigenous Bandanese [who survived the 1621 massacre and retreated to other islands in the Maluku archipelago], how they pass down their ancestral culture and language through songs, without any written account. We quote passages from Western texts as well to highlight the vision that the Westerners had of Banda at that time and compare it with local perspectives. It\u2019s not like we\u2019re the ones who produce the work here; rather, we\u2019re letting ourselves become a bridge.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:15%\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"849\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/matca.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TBJ_BOOK_NEWTMP_0040-1024x849.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18445\" srcset=\"https:\/\/matca.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TBJ_BOOK_NEWTMP_0040-1024x849.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/matca.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TBJ_BOOK_NEWTMP_0040-300x249.jpg 300w, https:\/\/matca.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TBJ_BOOK_NEWTMP_0040-770x638.jpg 770w, https:\/\/matca.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TBJ_BOOK_NEWTMP_0040-1536x1273.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/matca.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TBJ_BOOK_NEWTMP_0040-370x307.jpg 370w, https:\/\/matca.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TBJ_BOOK_NEWTMP_0040-585x485.jpg 585w, https:\/\/matca.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TBJ_BOOK_NEWTMP_0040-1155x957.jpg 1155w, https:\/\/matca.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TBJ_BOOK_NEWTMP_0040-293x243.jpg 293w, https:\/\/matca.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TBJ_BOOK_NEWTMP_0040-1400x1160.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/matca.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TBJ_BOOK_NEWTMP_0040.jpg 1810w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"849\" src=\"http:\/\/matca.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TBJ_BOOK_NEWTMP_0040-1024x849.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18445\" srcset=\"https:\/\/matca.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TBJ_BOOK_NEWTMP_0040-1024x849.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/matca.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TBJ_BOOK_NEWTMP_0040-300x249.jpg 300w, https:\/\/matca.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TBJ_BOOK_NEWTMP_0040-770x638.jpg 770w, https:\/\/matca.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TBJ_BOOK_NEWTMP_0040-1536x1273.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/matca.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TBJ_BOOK_NEWTMP_0040-370x307.jpg 370w, https:\/\/matca.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TBJ_BOOK_NEWTMP_0040-585x485.jpg 585w, https:\/\/matca.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TBJ_BOOK_NEWTMP_0040-1155x957.jpg 1155w, https:\/\/matca.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TBJ_BOOK_NEWTMP_0040-293x243.jpg 293w, https:\/\/matca.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TBJ_BOOK_NEWTMP_0040-1400x1160.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/matca.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TBJ_BOOK_NEWTMP_0040.jpg 1810w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption>The villagers of Selamon in Banda Besar Island gather by the seafront during a traditional ceremony.

In what way is your approach in this project different from your professional work?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this project, we had no obligation about timing. We could stay as long as we wanted, so we took everything really slow. I was never in a rush to get something. I would talk to people first, visit their homes, and make a lot of friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Banda is highly cosmopolitan, a characteristic shaped precisely by its colonization. After the massacre of the original Bandanese in 1621 [as part of the Dutch conquest to establish their monopoly on the spice trade], the Dutch repopulated the islands with slave workers originated from various places across the Malay Archipelago as it was called then, such as Java, Sumatra, or Sulawesi. The present-day Bandanese are very open to outsiders, probably because they feel that they were immigrants in the first place. They receive you with open hands. In the end, the place ended up feeling like home.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The experience was rewarding for me not in terms of achievement but on a personal level. Sometimes, as a photographer, you might be too focused on your professional goals and forget about making connections as a human being. The process of working on this project has changed the way I approach and collaborate with people.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"

During my first trip to Banda, because I was not on assignment, I just brought my film camera with me. I had no plan to photograph something specific. Pictures from the first roll came out quite nice and I felt like continuing to do it. It\u2019s a pleasant change when making pictures is not your only intention but merely a part of what you\u2019re doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With film, you can\u2019t immediately view the result so you\u2019re forced to keep talking with your subjects. Then you will stay more connected with them and remember more details. It&#8217;s a cliche but it&#8217;s true. With digital, you\u2019re too busy getting a perfect picture. It\u2019s good to not be able to see what you\u2019re doing on site sometimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How do you position yourself in relation to the history of Banda? Are you and Fatris telling this story from an insider or an outsider\u2019s perspective?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I guess we are insiders and outsiders at the same time. We\u2019re insiders because we\u2019re part of the bigger Indonesian community, which is of great diversity. We\u2019re united by the same colonial history \u2013 that\u2019s how Indonesia came about as a country, right? But we\u2019re also outsiders because the culture in one area can be very distant from another. This double status allowed us to keep things in balance in this project.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:15%\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:15%\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:70%\">\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color has-cyan-bluish-gray-color is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><em><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.muhammadfadli.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Muhammad Fadli<\/span><\/em><\/a><em> is a Sumatran-born Indonesian photographer based in Jakarta, Indonesia, focusing on documentary and portrait photography.
