“The urbanity we live together is, most of the time, altered by the potential of nature's claims or our imagination. Analytical prospecting, the projection of the fantastic, the experience of spirituality are felt as interferences of the ways of coexistence. Unpredictability is captured in contingent explorations of urban space and intimacy triggered by experiences of urbanity, in situ interventions, forms of sculpturality, interspersed expressions of pictoriality, investigations of the photographic and immersions of performativity. The human world interferes with the plant and animal worlds, but also with new possible worlds. The public space is invaded by expressions of the imagination of man's relationship with the environment and the environment of his own intimacy. Rationality, affectivity and spirituality participate in the recreation of relational spaces in which the situation is detached from aspiration. Urban nature has surpassed its status as a created nature and is increasingly accepted as a lived nature of the unpredictability of multitudes of other interferences”, the curator explains.

The exhibition was coordinated by Bogdan Gavrilean, Lavinia German, Cătălin Gheorghe, Oana Nicuță Nae, Daniel Sofron, Cătălin Soreanu, Mihai Vereștiuc and the technical support offered by Vlad Onescu and Nicu Oniciuc.
