Megorot
Todd McMillan
Nonfrasa is delighted to present Megorot, a solo exhibition by Todd McMillan. This three-channel moving image installation—developed in collaboration with cinematographer Wayan Martino and sound artist Putu Septa—combines 16mm film, video, and original sound to explore the spiritual and existential dimensions of kite-making in Bali.
Megorot explores the spiritual and philosophical resonance of kite flying as a ritual that bridges the divine, nature, and humanity. Through a poetic and existential lens, McMillan uncovers the often-unseen layers of reality, meditating on the tension between comprehension and surrender, tradition and change. In this interplay, the kite becomes both subject and symbol—a gesture of freedom, aspiration, and the enduring human desire to transcend the limits of the visible world.
A special opening performance by Sanggar Nata Swara, led by Kadek Janurangga, will feature a 20-minute composition by Putu Septa—evoking the movement and sensation of flight through sound.
