Geografia unei paduri de cenusa

It is July 2025; a fire swept through approximately 80 hectares of forest in the Măcin Mountains, near the village of Greci. We explored the same place together, yet each of us encountered it through their own history. For one of us, this forest was home—a space known through paths, landmarks, and memories. For the others, it was either a familiar place, traveled through several times, or a completely new one. From a distance, the trees seemed like mere black, vertical silhouettes scattered across an altered landscape. But seen up close, they became a body unto themselves, where the cracks, peeling bark, and deformations recorded the fire.

Tell us about NON.

NON art space is an independent, nonprofit contemporary art space in Bucharest, focused on experimentation, collaborative artistic practices, and dialogue among artists—both Romanian and international. It functions less like a traditional “white cube” gallery and more like a continuously evolving project platform that adapts according to the artists and projects it hosts. The space emphasizes collaboration, artistic processes, and experimental works, encouraging the production of new projects for the artists it collaborates with, outside the pressures of the commercial art market.
