In the language that you are / Picnic with animals participatory performance proposal, Dec 2023, within Fictions, my body, CNDB It combines the concept previously presented in Fictions, my body, of working with language and being through language on stage, and the concept developed this year of coexisting, living and integrating among animals, of exchanging practices (performative or no) with these, a concept tested and experienced in a residency with animals. It is an invitation for the audience to explore test imagine during the performance the simplicity and authenticity of animals, and to try a way of communication specific to them, opening the concept of language to the sphere of animals, to the language of animals, imagining language from the perspective of animals / Fiction, my/our/their body. The book of trees
Project site specific realized within RietzerBerg Art Hermitage residency in December 2022. The proposal is an invitation for the people entering the space of the forest understanding the presence of the trees like they could speak and address the visitors in the common human language. It is an invitation to travel within the forest and complete simple tasks proposed by the trees themselves. What would the trees say if they could speak in the human language? How would they speak to humans? This work is a tribute to nature and especially to the forest. An experience where trees and humans, as visitors and hosts, will be mixing and melting together, switching places and embodying one another. Part of the idea of tracing the invisible hidden underneath the surface secret communication network between the trees that resembles the human nervous system network. more |

Bucharest Airport Departures, 19 February Mourning/ Being present preamble : also, we dedicated ourselves to very innocent acts that were no less powerful, like putting a beautiful shell in the hand of the conductor when he came to take our bus tickets. The man stood there stupefied for a long time without saying anything Alejandro Jodorowsky |
The Practice:
Being present / Artist is present is an ongoing project that consists in being present/ standing still in different places and contexts with or without emotional charge and thinking. It appeared part from the concept of the opposition to movement which is stillness and from the concept of being present on stage or in a performative situation and could be seen also as a comment to the Marina’s Abramovic proposal The Artist is Present (later layer that added) and has also as reference and inspiration source the 4’33’’ of John Cage. It is also an action that is imposing distance between the body that is present and the rest- like objects, people and a way of marking a place in space, it interrogates the dialectique of the space between the artist and the audience. While standing still and being present there are different things that happen within and around your body. Previous representations of the concept of being present / standing still:

Art opening / 3 June 2021 Izvor Park, 17-21h / 5 minutes of sadness / Connected in sadness / just no reason for doing it /
COLLECTIVE WEEPING / sadness(with no reason at all) sadness. crying. From time to time I just need to cry. just for limping the eyes, soul, and thoughts. Sadness brings you back to your body. I can not tell you how sad I am. Find one thing, thought, emotion. try to make quite within. send yourself into the ground. empty yourself. now start quietly to weep and/or cry. you don't have to have a particular reason. Crying is just good from time to time, like a reset. Observe your body while doing this. inspired by the photo of the event, jan bas ader, the concept of art opening, some animals, my own disposition sometimes. IT is true that usually you cry when you are alone, in intimacy. The act of just crying without any particular reason, and no mourning a certain event or whatever. Collective sadness. General weeping / when the alarm will ring, stop crying or/and being sad and have a sip of water or beer or whatever / @catalinagubandru more: 5' of sadness |
I am a bad weed/ I am an artist I delegate this beautiful bad weed to substitute myself and be present instead of me into my studio for the official opening at Atelierele Malmaison. We almost have the same height and other similarities. Contrary to expectations, the bad weed is very sensitive. If you uproot it from land and its natural environment, it will wither in just a couple of minutes. After all, a bad weed is not so bad, it could easily become an interior ornamental plant. Weeds are not a specific type of plant. In nature, they have equal rights with all other representatives of the flora. In freedom, they will go wild. In households, they will end up as trash. I am an artist / I am a bad weed is also about the general impression in certain mediums about art and artists, and sometimes of the artists about themselves or other artists. Also, quite often, bad weeds are good healers. The installation contains authentic thistle from The Malmaison Garden more: I am a bad weed/I am an artist |
