Almost Censored

Part of the Almost Censored exhibition – one day show in the Brukenthal National Museum Sibiu.
An installation questioning the museum, a space sometimes positive, sometimes negative, never opened.

 

The Paris Project – road sign, documented performance, video, 7’20’’. Bucharest. 2005 – 2006

 

The Paris Project is a performance which the artist did in Bucharest carrying the signage Paris throughout the old part of the city.
Once known as Little Paris, Bucharest was partly destroyed by the misguided architectural ambitions of Ceausescu. 18 and 
19 century buildings were torn down in favor of unattractive and supposedly functional housing. As it stands now, if
you ask a passer-by to direct you to the historic centre of the city, they do not know what you’re talking about. By evoking a missing reality, Moldovan creates a situation for people to engage in and to explore notions of history, nostalgia and transience. If Little Paris is no longer in place, it could be at least a reviving state of mind.
