Looking at people looking at art, in Venice Biennale

Posted by Raluca Turcanasu on November 27, 2022 2:47 am / 0 Comments

  Apparently, my visit of the Venice Biennale was more about observing the other visitors than interiorizing the work(s).

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?...

The Oneiric Realism of Contemporary Moldovan Photography | for ARTA Magazine

Posted by Raluca Turcanasu on January 25, 2021 6:43 pm / 0 Comments

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...
