1991 / Art Museum
I. Performance festival "Titless State"
The "happening" called "Procesion" is a parable
socially and politically, but also philosophically
and artistically articulated. It has an ample
development, crosses the Union place and then
gets to the decrepit building having a valus
of symbol of the whole society, the Art Museum
of Timisoara. The climax - a percussion recital.
The procession travels through the baroque palace
and gets again in front banners on the scaffold
preparing the restoration of the building. The
carriers of banners with symbolic motifs are
artists, art critics and students. An intense
emotional state was created by everyone's undertaking
to carry a symbol. The "Procession" was awarded
a prize at the Festival of "Performance" - "Titless
State" of Timisoara.

Mai 25, 1993
"White Area" is a "happening" and a "performance" at the same time, recorded on a videotape of 7 minutes. The topic is spiritual and individual freedom, absolute freedom, its illusion.
The nude in painting, drawing and "happening" as well symbolizes for me the vulnerability of the pure spirit in cotact with the aggressiveness of society, the aggressiveness of the illusion of freedom.
The space in which it takes place is a completely white room (the white has a maximum mobility) with 17 niches inhabited by 17 nudes.
The rise in spiritual strain determines the nudes to get out of the niches and gather around a central post in the room. The characters' movement around this post is circular and obsessive, similar to prison rounds.
It can be, more than anything else, a behaviour study, but also a fine art manifestation under the artist's eyes that see through a crystal ball turning upside down the image, but not the symbol, the metaphor.
