Râsu'-plânsu' interventions
Râsu’-plânsu’ Interventions.
Opening: 23.10.2026 CDRF, Bucharest
Râsu’-plânsu’ Interventions expands on my photographic book Râsu’-plânsu’, treating it not as a fixed publication but as a space for material intervention. The project is rooted in Nicolae Ceaușescu’s systematisation program (1974–1989) and the informal ways residents adapted standardised apartment blocks to make them their own - enclosing balconies, marking boundaries, personalising shared space. It draws a parallel with my own negotiation with the book’s physical form, treating my privately owned copy as a surface for drawing, covering, cutting, and adding - a structure I can inhabit and transform.
A workshop led by Aga Łuczakowska will accompany the exhibition. Follow the link to sign in to the workshop.
Group Exhibition: Revoke
Revoke Exhibition
Friday Oct 30 to Sunday Nov 1
Opening night Friday, Oct 30, from 5.30 pm
Wolfhound Gallery, Level 1, 386-388 Brunswick Street, Fitzroy
The theme for this punk exhibition curated by @lindazhengova is REVOKE. Revocation is going against the grain and is an act of creation, in which something is dismantled so something else can emerge. @revoke.photo invites artists to contemplate this word and everything it evokes: resistance, rebellion, transformation, anger, liberation, rupture, memory, desire and reinvention.

Râsu’-plânsu’ at Abuja Photo Festival in Nigeria
My project Răsu’ - plânsu’ – “laughing through tears” at this year’s 9th Abuja Photo Festival themed “A World Connected”.
This project explores the profound human connections formed in the face of disconnection and displacement. After Romania’s communist era, thousands of families were uprooted from rural communities and relocated into blocuri—vast apartment complexes designed for uniformity. These concrete structures were meant to erase individuality, yet people responded by reshaping and personalizing them, creating improvised gardens, painted facades, and shared spaces that rebuilt a sense of belonging.
