AUTHOR:

PERIOD:
22nd of April – 5th of June 2021
Nicu Ilfoveanu's photography is the expression of time that transforms. Like memory capsules, his frames reproduce contexts, details, nuances and emotions that we all find ourselves in, but to which we have a highly personal, genuine perception.

An expansive panorama, through a retrospective of works from the Steampunk Autochrome series made between 2004 and 2008 and a new series of photographs of character clusters made in previous years and produced in 2021.

"The panorama in the title has multiple valences. It captures the visitor's gaze on the works, from an angle favorable to the whole, generating, at the base of the environment, the effect of illusion. The sequence of the works unfolds both in the physical space of the gallery and at the pace of each individual visitor. The exhibition presents a stark contrast: the landscapes play with our perception and visual baggage in such a way that they make us wonder if a sky can be so purple; the people, whose skin we can intuit along with the colour of their clothes, are presented here in shades of gray. By extracting colours from photographs of people, the emphasis is placed on the autochrome effect of landscape photographs and on the content and narrative intuited in the former" explains Alexandra Manole, curator of the exhibition, the concept of this photography installation.
