Uncle Pius, ”This is my home, come the sleeping…” (2019)

Om Pius is a native Papuan from the Keerom mountains who has been living and residing with communities of various ethnicities in the coastal area of Sentani, Jayapura, since the post-Act of Free Choice in the 70s. For more than 30 years, he has been a ‘mountain man’ living with a coastal culture. The history of population displacement, violence in Papua, natural wealth, longing for the homeland, romantic past, war, hopes, and dreams, are the life stories of Om Pius which he manifests through the lottery.
