Mirage-Theophany is an artist book by Indonesian artists, Riar Rizaldi and Arda Awigarda.
Mirage-Theophany expands on the origins and ideas of Riar Rizaldi's Mirage film series by introducing a fictional-historical narrative centred on the work of 16th-century Sumatran Sufi writer Hamzah Fansuri. Printed using a malfunctioning offset printing press, the comic book depicts Fansuri's discovery of God within a particle. Illustrations by Arda Awigarda depict a stylistic amalgamation of wafak aesthetics (Islamic amulets), Sufi manuscripts from the Indonesian archipelago, and Kirby-esque comic landscapes. The paper quality mirrors that of Indonesian underground comics, and each has a slightly different colour.
