excerpt from the curatorial text:

[ – – – – – – – ]

“estul sălbatic is not just an expression, but really represents the eastern european space; more precisely the romanian space translated through the prism of the experience imprinted on the individual who developed here, as well as the way in which the community around him evolved.

time is also a fundamental element of this exhibition, being in this case about the current moment as well as the recent past, after the 2000s. the artists in this exhibition, being those who belong to the ’99 generation, chose to include in their discourse visually numerous subjects that apparently seem heterogeneous to an objective eye, but which in fact, upon even a superficial analysis, one can notice how these subjects coagulate around the society in which the artists were formed.

by doing so, they create a common discourse, with diverse voices and stories behind it. they create the story of a generation from different perspectives.”

– – my project: – –

for this event, i have decided to exhibit two projections of works i have recently done: figure 1 is my interactive work untitled(C.U.G. I); while figure 2 is the short-film scape(Goat).

together they present an intimate narrative of what it means to be a kid in the recently eu-approved country of romania. explored here are themes of work migration, early popularization of american alternative media, and especially cultural (or country) dysphoria.
