Viewing Rooms was created as a section dedicated to photographic projects authored by Romanian artists, active locally or around the globe (Bucharest, Cluj, Iași, but also Berlin, Brussels, London, New York, Zurich etc.) and likewise belonging to various “generations.” Aiming for a bird’s eye view, we regularly select well-known, emerging, young, recent graduates artists. We soon realized our (by no means exhaustive) selection, beyond a collection of geographies and periods, also succeeded in mapping important orientations in the field of contemporary photography.
These include working with personal or found archives, investigating the mechanisms of memory, or investigating the intimate structure of space and time, redefining landscape and its relationship to dwelling and being, returning to the object and the photographic installation, in accordance with certain Post-Internet trends. Last but not least, the selection likewise manages to outline an ontology of the nonhuman (following Graham Harman and speculative realism).
We recommend viewing on desktop or laptop for the intended experience.
