The workshop brings together performative practices and interest in the idea of absence. The encounter between performance and a space of the invisible seems to produce an unresolvable conflict, which requires unexpected working methods: practices of deviance or alienation, through which the usual experience becomes strange and the familiar becomes unfamiliar. Present spaces, people and circumstances begin to invoke inaccessible spaces, people and circumstances, causing contradictory situations to emerge.

With the bodies and minds of the participants: Theo, Bora, Nix, Sânziana, Mircea, Sara, Nicole, Krisztina, Ronja, Justina, Matei, Ana, Dani, Renata, Bianca & Philip.

Irina Gheorghe works mainly with performance, in combination with photography, collage, installation or video to address the tensions that arise in trying to talk about things beyond our observation possibilities, from extraterrestrial life to hypothetical planets. Her works explore the notion of deviance as a technique to alienate the everyday, the abstract as a language of interstellar communication, and the absurd as a way of interacting with the world beyond perception. Since 2009, Irina has worked together with Alina Popa (1982-2019) as part of the Duo Melodramatic Research Bureau to investigate how passions affect contemporary society, as well as our affective relationship with an inhuman universe. Since January 2019, he is part of the Psychedelic Choir. Her works have been shown at the Kunstverein am Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz, Berlin; NCAD Gallery, Dublin; Project Salon, Bucharest; Ivan Gallery Bucharest; Suprainfinit Gallery Bucharest; Grazer Kunstverein; Project Arts Centre, Dublin; National Museum of Contemporary Art, Bucharest; Swimming Pool, Sofia; Nida Art Colony; Changing Room, Berlin; Romanian Cultural Institute, Berlin; Center for Contemporary Art Derry; Chapter Thirteen/Glasgow International; HOME Manchester; Center for Contemporary Art Vilnius; TRAFO, Budapest; Pratt Manhattan Gallery, New York; Times Museum, Guangzhou; BAK, Utrecht; DEPO, Istanbul and Galeria Posibilă, Bucharest, among others.
