Dry Joy is the first book-form presentation of Iiu Susiraja's idiosyncratic photographic and video works. Author creates and presents provocative self-portraits spiced up by creatively used household items that break all sorts of rules. A carrot in a shoe, underpants in a pie, or a baguette held crosswise under the breasts: these are only few thought-provoking images of many warm and intriguing photographs. Susiraja’s works are candid, in the sense that they consist mostly of single-take videos and unedited photographs. The quirky gaze pursues the viewer, but at the same time their humour will win over the most cynical onlooker.
