Ghosts 

video essay, 6 min., 2023

Ghosts are all around us. One needs only the right pair of ‘eyes’ to see them. This video explores some of the darker aspects of Bucharest’s past by revisiting and documenting the locations of some gruesome murders that took place there. This itinerary through the town invites the travellers to ponder these obscure histories and hopefully acts as a catalyst in a process of reconciliation with these past events. 

The original score of the piece was created by Terolaviu Popescu. It is based on a distorted passage from an 80s duet by Mihaela Runceanu and Ioan Luchian Mihalea, both artists who were themselves gruesomely murdered in Bucharest.

The artwork is part of Fluid Architectures, Group exhibition
