Djimat
Aged over 70, still living in the small town of Batuan (Bali).
Fighting against the winds and tides of modernity. Struggling against the perverse notion of exoticism, I Made Djimat pursues, humble and sage, his childhood dream.
Dragone's photographic work often explores themes of identity, culture, and ritual. His lens captures the elegance of movement, the mystery of performance, and the quiet dignity of his subjects. He has traveled extensively, often immersing himself in the lives and traditions of those he photographs. This anthropological curiosity is a hallmark of his style, his work invites the viewer into a world that is at once foreign and familiar, where the boundaries between observer and observed dissolve.
