In the mid-1990s, an amateur photographer plans to submit his photograph of children performing a traditional dance to a photo competition sponsored by an international cultural agency. They convey the longings of Indonesian national modernity: nostalgia for rural idylls and 'tradition', desires for the trappings of modernity and affluence, dreams of historical agency, and hopes for political authenticity.
