A struggle for Bandung's identity has been reflected on the dilemmatic situation in its city center- Alun-Alun Bandung. Alun-Alun has been known widely as a traditional form of indigenous city center in Indonesian city. Presently, Alun-Alun is no longer perceived as the representation of Bandung city center. As a result, public space in Bandung has become an empty landmark. Many questions have been arising regarding history is still a significance basis to build a city center image. This paper tries to visualize an ephemeral aspect of the city, seen differently through the time. A durational installation artwork is created by the author to convey an artistic critic that describes a destruction process of water to a soil, as a symbol of time that decays the meaning of Alun-Alun Bandung.
