BACK TO ARTISTS

subREAL (Cãlin Dan & Josif Király)

Year born:

1990

Location:

Bucuresti, Romania

Website:

https://www.plueschow.de/fellows/subreal/subreal.html

The end of the Ceaucescu regime in Romania may be one of the most virulent events broadcast by the media in the past decade; the trial and execution were observed with a mixture of horror and vindictive pleasure by millions of people all over the world. Just like in the movies, the bad guy was finished off in the most horrible way, and we leave the theater relieved. But in the course of history, happy endings are not the rule. This installation by the two artists of subREAL functions more like therapy for its creators to heal from the past than as an artificial shock for the viewer. Yet the gothic darkness in which the elements of history and degradation have placed them serves as an accusation of our role as voyeurs of historical catastrophes.
