Văcărești (Us) / Văcărești (You & I), 2021
Steel, mouthblown coloured glass, custom steel frames, each 48 x 33 cm
“In the feverish yellow flush of summer the urban delta offers itself as a zone of protection, an unanticipated space of safety for not only plant bodies but human bodies too. Embraced by the ring of concrete and steel which marks the perimeter, thirteen women carefully pick a path through the dense vegetation. Arriving at the centre, one by one they climb a wooden watchtower before coming to rest on a platform high above the water, reeds, and mud below. Here they sit, silently, and listen; to the wind and to one another.”
Developed out of the residency, Staycation, which took place in Bucharest in the summer of 2021; presented as part of the group exhibition Staycation organised and curated by Catinca Tabacaru Gallery, Sandwich Gallery and CTG Collective.
