Brasov, Sibiu, Zenith and us
Posted by Raluca Turcanasu on / 0 Comments
At the begging of September Vlad and I went on a 3 days trip to Brasov, for the Amural visual festival, which we both absolutely recommend, and Silviu Purcarete’s Faust play, in Sibiu.
Armed with our hammocks for the night in Brasov, a Russian Zenith 11 and curiosity for the new adventure, we were so to have an amazing time. And so did we! ‘
In Brasov
Did I tell you that the Zenith 11 was the camera I first held, the camera that my dad taught me to shoot with?
I just ♥ shooting on film!
Especially this graininess, these colour distortions, I think they make photography more humane, more relateable. They kind of remind us of our perfect imperfections. Of course, here they are totally raw, totally unedited.

Yeah, that’s me, playfully enjoying a feathers & lights installation in Amural. Please, do go check this indie festival out, I promise it’s worth it!
In Sibiu
In Sibiu we stayed at this super cozy and central AirBnb apartment to spoil ourselves a bit, too.
Huge recommendation: go check out Faust too. It’s truly amazing.

The Large Square (Piata Mare) on a fair day.

We landed there in the middle of the Roma people days. Not the best to visit Sibiu, but… intriguing nonetheless.

Kulinarium, a beautiful and delicious restaurant in the Small Square (Piata Mica), recommended by our friendly hosts. Check it out.

The Bridge of the Lies.

At the end, we also landed in the Focus Festival, cute and small, but during a heavy rain that stopped us from having a real, proper blast. Fun times!
