f it weren’t for the pandemic, French photographer Marius Moragues would still be in Indonesia, discovering new stories by the day.
While he was more than happy to return to France and see his family after more than two years, Moragues said that he would rather be back in Indonesia to continue his exploration.
Moragues is working on “Imperfect Frame”, a project that involves him exploring and documenting Indonesia by motorcycle over a period of 10 years.
The project will be published in the BEYOND series of photography books, with the first volume, BEYOND: Java, slated for release sometime this year. The book features 150 photographs from Moragues’ two-year journey around the island.
“I always tell everyone that I didn’t choose Indonesia, but [that] Indonesia chose me,” he told The Jakarta Post from France by videoconference.
Moragues first visited Indonesia as a backpacker in 2015, armed with his adventurous spirit and a list of countries he wanted to visit and do volunteer work. His travels brought him to Southeast Asia, and Indonesia was last on his list.
