TEMPORARY STRUCTURES
Artist: Bogdan Bordeianu
October 12 - October 26. 2011.
In Romania, the architecture, the construction sites, abandoned, in ruins, or still functional, are possibly the most violent sign of the still ongoing transition within Romanian society.
This sign is so omnipresent that the transition seems permanent:
from communism to post-communism and from post-communism to the new post-capitalist trends.This series of photographs, of vast hills of soil originating from the pits dug for new buildings foundations, is a continuation of my previous projects of visual mapping/topography of Bucharest’s periphery, done individually or as part of the visual research project RoArchive.This state of things arouses my interest, my constant concern for the transitory. These man made hills, on which the vegetation was beginning to grow, made me think about them as being Temporary Structures, belonging to landforms of limited duration.
