A conversation between curator Elena Malzew and filmmaker Xandra Popescu.

The roots of this project start in Valea Jiului and are interwoven with memories of rituals and landscapes that marked the artist’s childhood, a native of Petrosani.

Last autumn, Suprainfinit Gallery launched a broader series addressing the ideas of ruin and, by extension, reconstruction and preservation.

The paintings now on display trace an arc across time and reveal a Gili made up of several artists, all striving to conquer, piece by piece, a new pictorial territory.
