Rom și Român: 100 Portraits of Romanians during the 1990s
This is a portfolio of 100 photographic images of Romanians in the marketplaces and streets of Romania during the first decade after liberation from the dictatorship of Nicolai Ceaușescu and the Romanian Communist Party in 1989. All of the photographs are presented as color images in this portfolio, even though the majority come from Black & White originals. Modern photo editing techniques have been used but in moderation, there is no use of AI or VR technology. An attempt is made to find an equilibrium between artistic expression and ethnographic documentation. Modern day Romania is quite different from the country seen in these photographs, and hopefully the viewer will be intrigued to find out more about how nations develop after the devastation of dysfunctional authoritarian governance that lasts for decades.
The photos include a cross-section of Romania’s folk societies, from one end of the country to the other. There are ethnic Romanians, as well as Roma, and also some people who clearly represent other indigenous nationalities in this melting pot country of Central Europe.
This large format hardcover is printed to last. It is a durable edition that can take its place proudly among the art books in your library. Each portrait covers an entire page of the book and is beautifully printed in full color.
