  1. PHOTOGRAPHICAL HISTORY

The development of photography in Indonesia has always been related to and flowing with the nation's social-politics momentum, from the momentum of colonial political change, the independence revolution, the economic boom of the early 1980s, to the 1998 Reformation.
In 1841, a Dutch health official named Juriaan Munich received orders from the Colonial Ministry to land in Batavia with a dauguerreotype. Munich was given the task of perpetuating the plants and natural conditions that exist in Indonesia as a way to get information about the natural conditions. Since then, the camera has become part of the modern technology that the Netherlands Government uses to pursue its new policy. The mastery and control of the colonies is no longer done by building a defensive fortress or the deployment of troops and cannons, but by mastering modern transportation and communications technology. Within this framework, photography performs its functions through colonial administrative workers, court officials, military officers, and missionaries.
This background explains why for 100 years the existence of photography in Indonesia (1841-1941) the mastery of this tool is exclusively in the hands of Europeans, few Chinese, and Japanese. Based on surveys and research results in commercial photography studios in the Indies about photographs from 1850 to 1940, from 540 photo studios in 75 cities and towns, there were 315 European names, 186 Chinese, 45 Japanese , and only four local Indonesians, one of whom is Kasian Cephas.
Kasian Cephas is an indigenous local resident. He was born on February 15, 1844 in Yogyakarta. Cephas is actually an indigenous native who was later appointed as a child by the couple Adrianus Schalk and Eta philipina Kreeft, then schooled to the Netherlands. Cephas was the first to introduce the world of photography to Indonesia. Nevertheless, Indonesian historical literature rarely names her as the first native career as a professional photographer. The name Kassian Cephas began to be tracked with the oldest photographic works made in 1875.
It took almost a hundred years for this nation to really get to know the world of photography. The entry of Japan in 1942 has created an opportunity for the Indonesian nation to absorb this technology. For the sake of its propaganda needs, Japan began training Indonesians to become photographers to work in their news agency, Domei. At that moment came the name Mendur Brothers. They form a new image of the Indonesian nation.
Through photography, the Mendur brothers tried to lead the nation mentally to be mentally high and equal. Frans Mendur with his brother, Alex Mendur, also became an icon for the world of national photographers. They often record important events for the country, one of which is to capture the seconds of reading the Proclamation of Independence of the Republic of Indonesia. This is the momentum when photography really "up" to Indonesia, when the camera changed hands and the Indonesian people began to represent themselves.
