Yudha Kusuma Putera or ‘Fehung’ (b.1987, Indonesia) is a multi-disciplinary artist, who mainly uses photography as his medium. He lives and works in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, and graduated from the Indonesian Institute of the Arts (ISI), Yogyakarta in 2012, majoring in Photography. In 2011, he joined the art collective MES 56, which focuses on the development of the photographic medium in the realm of contemporary arts.  

Fehung consistently uses participatory and performative methods and approaches, emphasising the participant’s embodied experience that has changed and formed his body of work from the initial idea. He is invested in exploring the intimacy and closeness of human relations, such as living space, neighbours, children, and family. For him, negotiating and building conversations are important processes besides the work of photography itself.
