That’s my Ireland [Chapter 1]

In some ways, it feels like my first chapter of Dublin came to a beautiful end and the next one has already started. It’s probably clearer to say it’s my first “book” of Ireland, a truly transformative journey of healing. I let this work as my therapy and allowed all emotions to work their ways...

Krav Maga has been developed by Imi Lichtenfeld, a wrestler, gymnast and swimmer Jew, living in Bratislava. When anti-Semitism swiped Europe, Lichtenfeld and other boxers and wrestlers ganged up to protect their community. That set the foundation for Krav Maga, and later, once in Israel, Imi was asked to develop the technique further, with/for the...

Of course it took me an eternity to finally process & upload those photos from Glendalough, but here they are, at last. A bright (and, most importantly, dry!) autumn day when I joined a Meetup to walk these truly enchanted trails of Glendalough. Many have asked (no, really, they did!) what it is that keeps...

Timișoara (Temeswar), April 2023.   Timisoara greeted me with a few rainy days at the beginning of April, which were nevertheless perfect for exploring the exhibitions within Timișoara European Capital of Culture. Rainy and cold, the city shined brighter than last year. As one might expect, some of the projects within the Capital of Culture status...

Ireland. Where you hear birds chirping even at night! You know it. One day you’re young, the next day you’re observing & capturing photos of birds with your telelens. Next, you know what they’re called, too. 👀 Joking around about aging-worries, I feel I’m at my absolute best, both mentally and physically. So, here, enjoy these...

Beautiful end of November hike guided by Ben Shorten, from My Bike or Hike. It did come as a surprise, as I cozied myself up in Dublin, that the public transport is far from stellar 🙃 There is only a handful of trails one can do using the public transport to the starting point – not...

  Apparently, my visit of the Venice Biennale was more about observing the other visitors than interiorizing the work(s). I honestly can’t say I was taken aback by most of it… but neither did I expect it to be so. It’s rather hard to bring in controversial work when you’re “representing the nation”. Yet, Cosmin...

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?...

One of the most complex & challenging projects I have ever co-organized was aimed at children and teens in Marin, a village in Northern Romania. My role was two-sided: 1) Coordinating the communications for MarinArt. A platform for education through art in the rural world. What did that entice on my side? Part of the...

– 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...
