Mona Vătămanu & Florin Tudor

Mona Vatamanu & Florin Tudor’s artistic practice spans diverse media including film, photography, painting, performance, and site-specific projects. Through their works, they confront the traumatic legacy of Communism in their native Romania and Eastern Europe, while wrestling with the ongoing challenge of how to process history. As part of the residency so far they have taken a look at the surrounding environment of both the natural jungle like environment and various constructions happening in Gillman Barracks to explore various social dynamics. They have taken the prevalent presence of migrant labour as a starting point to think about construction, the literal building of a nation, migration and the emotional realities of itinerancy and how this may affect social interactions.
