With 157 hectares of park to explore and 2400 plants species for a total variety of twenty-one-thousand plants, the Botanical Garden of Bali is the largest in Indonesia - a paradise of biodiversity at 1300 metres above sea level which shows off all the wealth of the island’s stunning nature. Perched on a hillside of the volcanic caldera of Bedugul, the park is known for its superlative views - on clear days they expand all the way to Bratan Lake, stretching out over the pluvial forests of the mountainside. Eighty species of birds, shrews and monkeys populate the area. However, the principal attraction is the wondrous plant life - the beauteous gathering of orchids, aquatic gardens, carnivorous plants, the giant ferns and one of the largest collections of begonias on the planet, just a few examples of the immense patrimony of the Botanical Garden. The most curious will want to visit the section dedicated to ceremonial plants and those plants that are part of the world of traditional Balinese medicine - a window on the culture of the island and the age-old symbiosis that connects the inhabitants to their environment. Fountains and trails mark the itineraries to follow on foot, while a ring road allows the forest to be traversed by car. An unmissable stop is the upper slope of Tapak Hill, where gigantic banyans or ficus benghalensis can be found, absolutely the most photographed tree in the park.
Contemporary photography with an ancient taste with I Gusti Agung Wijaya Utama
The Balinese photographer I Gusti Agung Wijaya Utama S. Sn recreates the atmospheres of the past. His portraits, created with great attention to detail, are not the result of digital technology, but of an ancient process: the Afghan box camera.
He is an Indonesian-born artist based in Bali. He finished his education in Fine Arts practice at Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts in 2020. His artistic practice originates from his lived experiences and observations as a Balinese and the religious aspects of Bali.
She is an artist who grew up in the intersection between the traditional Balinese culture into which she was born, and the contemporary art horizon with which she became familiar through her academic career in the city of Bandung.
