Bahlui by Night

2004, in collaboration with Dragos Alexandrescu, duration:12'40" (loop), color, stereo sound, no dialogues
Bahlui is the only river passing through Iasi. The video investigates ironically the journey of Bahlui from the moment it enters the city to the instant it gets out of the urban area. The night frames create a metaphysical atmosphere, transforming the gray reality one perceives at daytime into an almost unreal world.
