THE REMAINS OF THE DAY
Artist: Gabi Stamate
December 21. 2011 - January 27. 2012.
In December 1989, in the pride of my youth, I had the extraordinary chance to be in the middle of the events. On the 21, Bucharest revolution day, I joined the first protest groups and, with the help of a Zenith camera, I've made a suit of photos on Magheru Boulevard, between the Scala building and Piata Romana.
Today, after 22 years, that incredible feeling of fear and euphoria remains intact in my memory and still unequaled by anything.
Today's exhibit is the memory of that astonishing day.
I dedicate this event to my late mother.

“ - The fear lazes the spirit, it hits on the foundation of being.
The great figures of humanity lived on the edge, they defied danger, they boiled. Go by some more wine please. They burned like torches, those guys.
He purposely tilts the glass with some leftover wine.”
