In search of magic by reinterpreting public space

with photography and digital collage

"Visual Stories of the Unseen" - opening by Ștefan Iacob

On Thursday, September 27, starting at 7.30 pm, The Ark, at 150 Uranus Street, hosts the opening of the exhibition "Visual Stories of the Unseen", a selection of previously unseen works by Ștefan Iacob, in which photography and digital collage meet and reconcile, in a harmonious flow, common places, different cultures and sacred universes.

The exhibition sums up works from the collections Portals (2017 - 2018) and Temples (2015 - 2016), visual compositions illustrating Moldavian monasteries and architectural monuments in Bucharest, in fantastic contexts that project them into universality.

"I chose to expand the mission of photographic art, moving away from the descriptive. The extraordinary image-building tools at our fingertips today allow us to make bolder gestures, such as creating prototype universes in which different cultures and worlds can coexist without being mutually exclusive. Elements of the banal everyday, ignored or burdened by a negative emotional legacy, can amaze and delight. Moreover, I invite those who stop in front of my work to try to enjoy what they see, postponing conceptualization indefinitely, if possible." - Ștefan Iacob
