An Expatriate’s Diary. Made Wijaya (born in Sydney as Michael White, 1953-2016) was a landscape architect who left Sydney for Bali as a break from architectural studies at University of Sydney and stayed, immersing himself in the Balinese culture, consorting with royalty, and in 1975 was renamed Made Wijaya by a priest in a Hindu temple ceremony. This work was his first in his Fotokopi series of architecture/artists books, being a collection of articles recording his observations of life, culture, and architecture in his new home as he attends innumerable religious ceremonies. A detailed record from an expatriate perspective of culture and religion in Bali in the late 1970s. This copy with 3 original colour photographs pasted in (copies are known to have differing numbers of added photographs). Originally published in an edition of only 4 copies, this is the second edition with additional content published in an edition of 100 numbered and signed copies, this copy further inscribed by Wijaya to the contents page. A trade edition was published in 1995.
