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.
