Abstract

“The Garden of Earthly Prosperity in Ground Zero” is a work of art by Isur Suroso. The painting reflects the story of the Sinom song in the text Babad Diponegoro. This fine art tells the story of Prince Diponegoro when he was raised by his great-grandmother in Tegalrejo Village, Yogyakarta. Tegalrejo Village has a simple community pattern. The beautiful natural environments in Tegalrejo Village are silent witnesses to Prince Diponegoro’s life. This research aims to describe the concept of visual deconstruction with the COVID-19 pandemic situation. This research uses the deconstruction theory of Jacques Derrida. There are forms of deconstruction meaning through the pandemic situation in this painting. The fine art of “The Garden of Earthly Prosperity in Ground Zero” is divided into three parts. These parts in this fine art can reflect normal life conditions before the coronavirus pandemic appeared and reflect life after the coronavirus pandemic hit the world. The middle part of “The Garden of Earthly Prosperity in Ground Zero” interprets normal conditions. Meanwhile, two other parts describe a pandemic situation.

Summary

Introduction

This research originated from a manuscript text entitled Babad Diponegoro. This text is classified as a famous old literary because it tells the story of Prince Diponegoro as a legendary hero from Java. The Babad Diponegoro text is written in Pegon Arabic's script. The Manuscript of Babad Diponegoro was named "Memory of the World" by UNESCO on July 3, 2013. The author finds other sources of research data, such as the research conducted by Peter Carey in a book entitled Kuasa Ramalan: Pangeran Diponegoro dan Akhir Tatanan Lama di Jawa, 1785-1855 (there are three volumes). Carey interprets the events contained in the Babad Diponegoro into a narrative accompanied by other supporting data (intertextual method). In addition to the text of the Babad Diponegoro, Carey uses a book entitled "De Java Oorlog" as a text reference. This book contains reports on the results of the Java War from the Dutch (Carey, 2011)
