"Dia Dian" is the name of one of the oldest cinemas in Bandung, which has been abandoned to this day. The owner is not precise. Still, it continues to change functions from time to time. Until now, there has been no significant change besides getting dirtier, smellier, and decaying. Artists, activists, and officials already know that the Dian Cinema building is a historical place and space for the city of Bandung. With its obscurity and neglect, Dian's Cinema is like a ghost, outside of the ghostly narratives that exist or have been made up by people. This work is present amidst the 'ghost' quality of "Dian Cinema. Widi will re-enact the events in the clothes of travellers or spectators at the Dian Cinema by carrying out a ritual repertoire of making contact with ghosts. Widi will carry out the formation of clothes directly through the metaphysical abilities of 'Smart People.' Through this work, Widi wants to discuss ambiguity, neglect and attempts to attend.
