When many photographers exhibit the atmosphere of disaster or post-disaster with raw, cliche, literal configuration, Oscar Motuloh recorded objects that are simple but full of touching human inner traces, collision odd simbols that bring anyone to tears and still laugh, or just silly configuration that imply bitter parody. In his photographs, Aceh tsunami or East Java Lapindo mud, for example, there are unusual collision between the objects there that will drag us to various unpredictable reflection and association—in new comprehension on reality. Oscar Motuloh works do drag all things and incidents back to the direction of soul mystery, like a devotional visit to trace hiddent constelations of human inner dynamics.

Oscar Motuloh is a photojournalist and photography curator. At the moment he is in charge of Antara Photo Press Agency, also Antara Museum and Journalistic Photo Gallery. Also he co-founded Indonesian Photo Journalists. He teaches at Film and Television Faculty, Jakarta Arts Institute, and visiting lecturer in some universities in this country. He has held several photography exhibitions and workshops and published several photography books. Oscar is also active as a jury in several photography competitions and as a curator of photography in Indonesia and abroad.

Ketika banyak fotografer menampilkan suasana bencana atau pasca-bencana dengan konfigurasi mentah, klise, dan harfiah, Oscar Motuloh merekam obyek-obyek sepele namun sarat dengan jejak batin manusiawi yang menyentuh, benturan simbolik ganjil yang dapat membuat orang meneteskan airmata sambil tertawa, atau justru konfigurasi konyol yang menyiratkan parodi getir. Pada foto-fotonya perihal bencana tsunami Aceh atau lumpur Lapindo di Jawa Timur, misalnya, pembenturan tak lazim antara obyek-obyek di sana menyeret kita pada berbagai perenungan dan asosiasi tak terduga—pada pemahaman baru akan realitas. Karya Oscar Motuloh memang menyeret segala benda dan peristiwa kembali ke arah misteri jiwa, semacam ziarah untuk melacak konstelasi tersembunyi dinamika batin manusia.
