In this exhibition, Sever Petrovici-Popescu explores the concept of the "archaeology of memory" through his photosculptures, documenting a vanished world in which the remaining testimonies are rare and often intangible. In an interview for artevezi.com, the artist explains the motivation behind his research: "The lack of formal education about the communist period is what made me start this project. I wanted to draw the attention of people of my generation to things that I learned more or less by chance. I think that these episodes in our history should be common references. For me in this case, art is a way of passing on information, an attitude towards a certain subject or at least the beginning of an idea." Following the displacement action of June 18, 1951, around 44,000 people were forced to leave their homes at gunpoint and take up residence in the Bărăgan Plain, forming new communities with extremely limited resources. Over time, the 18 villages thus created were abandoned, leaving only a few houses in the villages of Dâlga Noua, Rubla and Fundata. The project has already been exhibited at the 1989 Revolution Memorial in Timișoara, the Călărași Municipal Museum and the National Museum of Old Maps and Books in Bucharest and is accompanied by a catalog. The exhibition is signed by Sever Petrovici-Popescu and curated by Ioana Marinescu and is a traveling museum project produced by the Museum of Communism Horrors in Romania.
