Abstract

Jakarta is a city with a distinctive appeal, making it not only a dream destination for its own residents but also for people from other regions. This condition has led to significant migration flows from outside Jakarta into the city, driven by diverse objectives. Such migration is not merely a physical relocation but also involves the transfer of cultural practices brought by the migrants. The process of urbanisation in Jakarta has produced a heterogeneous society, as its inhabitants come from diverse regional backgrounds. The people of Jakarta are often categorised as an urban society characterised by activeness, independence, and a tendency toward individualism. In line with this phenomenon, the objective of this research is to produce photographic works that represent the individualistic attitudes of Jakarta’s urban society through the approach of urban photography. The research method employed is practice-led research, an approach that emphasises the creation and reflection of new works through artistic practice. The outcome of this study is a series of photographic works that capture the individualistic attitudes of urban society by utilising decisive moments within the framework of urban photography.
