Ogoh-ogoh are communally created, highly artistic effigies of monsters, evil forces, witches, demons from Hindu mythology, and most recently anti-heroes from Western television, that are paraded through the village streets on Balinese New Year’s Eve in preparation for Nyepi, New Year’s Day. The ogoh-ogoh effigies are finally burned in a ritualistic effort to rid the community of the previous year’s evils. As an artist Tamarra Kaida became intrigued by the Balinese perspective of reality, and after she moved to Bali to live, she began photographing ogoh-ogoh seriously. This book is her offering to those who are interested in Balinese culture and the fascinating ogoh-ogoh monsters.

Tamarra Kaida is a photographer and writer who has taught photography at Arizona State University in the United States from 1979 to 2004 and travelled extensively giving lectures and photographty workshops in England, Europe and Russia as a guest lecturer and a visiting artist.

Davie Trefoolyan

Davie Trefoolyan knows he is a Canadian. Beyond that things are cloudy. He may have fallen down and whacked his head or even had something slipped into his drink. Whatever it was he woke up one day on a beach in Koh Samui, Thailand, in his swimming shorts with a bag containing a sketch pad, pencils, a Canadian passport, a credit card and no recollection of his past whatsoever. Newmi Nohman is British. Unlike Davie, he remembers all too well every detail of his tortured past and carries it around with him in a bag that grows heavier by the day. From Sedona to Sydney, Poona to Pattaya, Newmi has schlepped his sorry story to the feet of gurus and new age pundits worldwide, a path that finally led him to Ubud, Bali, where he began to collaborate with Davie on a path to enlightenment for the serious dim bulb, a subject in which he has become somewhat an expert.
