Chronic Illness 25 presents @mihai_barabancea Hyperreality Slum video installation:
Hole-and-corner urban anthropologist of Bucharest underbelly, Barabancea’s images testify to his reckless immersion into obscene rollercoaster of social exclusion, gutter life derangement, streetwise mythologies, promises of abandoned buildings if not unlikely pride of dirty pavements, survival strategies within post-communist dereliction, balkanic futurism, deathdrive hedonism subcultures, vulgar absurdity, homeless dreams, deep bottoms of grotesque desires, mental excess beyond the line of poverty & manic rage against all odds ~
Chronic Illness 25 is lucky not only to host Hyperreality Slum video installation edited especially for the event but also welcome Barabancea in person to give an artist talk about his latest photography book Cyber Dolphin Tears & take photos of our sewage during the night of Chronic Illness 25
