I love beauty and kindness and I find some beauty even in saddness. Love plants and animals and people as well, the coherent, real ones. No-game. Life is just experience, filtered by you. Will you be a scratched, dusty, noisy filter? Will you be a neutral filter? Will you be a sparkly stardust filter?
Namaste
my eyes in photos
and articles.
Inspire and be inspired. Enable and be enabled. Listen and be listened to. Let your soul dance to the music of the world. Dive in your inner world or expand across continents. Be colorful. Be summerish. Be spiritual. Be serendipity. JUST BE.

Really happy you are here I do hope you will let yourself inspired by this place where you landed. I love inspiring you, I think it’s an awesome way to spread love and cure the world. Maybe it’s nothing in the realm of trumps, fights, poor health and immigration camps… but let me let you...
Photo work: The political theatre season – 2021-2022
Posted by Raluca Turcanasu on
To stage corona. To dramatize shame. To enact maternity. To (re)produce hospitality work. To listen to history. To sing delivery. To have solidarity in solitude. What does the labour of a commercial worker or a delivery wo/man mean in Corona times? How can one step in the shoes of those who just serves one’s needs?...

“I dreamed of a museum of photography” | FOR ARTA MAGAZINE
Posted by Raluca Turcanasu on
– And, knowing it won’t happen any time soon, I donated almost all of my negatives to the Engravings Department of the Romanian Academy Library. – And I decided to stop waiting and create my own, online. – And I went and saw as many photographic archive museums and galleries as I could in order...
The Oneiric Realism of Contemporary Moldovan Photography | for ARTA Magazine
Posted by Raluca Turcanasu on
Magical realism with a shot of sadness, to go. This is how I’d characterize the aesthetic of contemporary Moldovan photography, by reducing it to its essence. I find a sort of dreamlike realism browsing through the series of Mikhail Kalarashan, Maria Guțu, or Ramin Mazur. It’s a dream in which sadness and joy converge and...
Texturile lui scoby
Posted by Raluca Turcanasu on
Uneori îmi place să mă autosurprind, să-mi faci mici surprize „culegând” ceva „banal” care-mi iese-n cale. Ceva care să mă scoată din zona de confort. Dar doar puțin. Așa am învățat să fac curry, la un Centre d’animation in 13eme, Paris. Așa a ajuns și Scoby la mine acasă, de la Ari și de la Oana....
This is my personal space, the online place that represents me. Uncomissioned. Unedited when I want, filtered if I want. All work belongs to me, if not stated otherwise. I would be proud to see my photography help others in their creative endeavours, but I’d be really happy to hear from that creative.
Sincerely hope that my sources of inspiration will be sparkle for you, too.
Inspirational quotes
Control is about as real as a one-legged unicorn taking a leak at the end of a double rainbow.
Mr. Robot
It’s not where you take things from, it’s where you take them to.
Jean-Luc Godard
The part we create from can't be touched by anything our parents did, or society did. That part is unsullied, uncorrupted; soundproof, waterproof, and bulletproof. In fact, the more troubles we've got, the better and richer that part becomes.
Steven Pressfield
The five colours make a man blind, the five tones make a man deaf, because if you can only see five colours, you’re blind, and if you can only hear five tones in music, you’re deaf. You see, if you force sound into five tones, you force colour into five colours, you’re blind and deaf. The world of colour is infinite, as is the world of sound. And it is only by stopping fixing conceptions on the world of colour and the world of sound that you really begin to hear it and see it.
