Veteran Trees. Let there be dark, but let there be light!

Authors’ Comment

Florin Ghenade’s artistic research suggests continuous inquests and discoveries, with carefully determined geographical routes and methodically constructed photo shootings, all of which can be perceived as a scenographic act. The multifaceted display shows photographs, video and sounds, which required the careful planning of an exhibition path meant to be perceived as a succession of visual, auditory and spatial frames. Thus the visitor faces at the entrance in Tancred Banățeanu exhibition space (MNȚR) a composition of three distinct sight planes: the foreground of ”Plopul de la Slăvuţa nr. 2” and the distant view of ”Frasin de la Fumureni”, also grasping the view of the documentary-bibliographical area of the ”Biblioteca de Galerie”. The space of the black box, with the purpose of exhibiting videos showing Florin Ghenade's research, becomes a pendulum in the visitor’s path, a witness of a dynamic artistic process which stands beside the static images of veteran trees.
