Student Submissions

"Do you want to live here?" is a project where I tried to initiate a thorough self-reflection journey in order to understand why I am so drawn to fairy tales. With a view to visualizing how reality imitates stories, a colleague of mine helped me create a sequence which follows the storyline of a fairytale my mom would read to my sister and me by using different crops of photographs of my childhood and more recent photographs I took myself. The text I used in the publication is translated to English from the Romanian version of „Frau Holle", a German story by the Grimm Brothers. By deciding not to use the original version of this story, I want to criticize the Romanian mentality that shines through the emphasis the translator put on the traditional role of the woman: washing dishes and rubbing the floors. Thus, I want to show my interest in how the stories we tell our children shape them into the adults they become, as well as how stories are the best reflection of cultural standards.

I always need time to adjust to new seasons. The days are getting shorter and darker. I experience space and time differently. The sky, the moon and light it provides in his unique way is the only way to feel something that's constant. The moon, and how the moonlight shines on me feels closer to me, even so far away. In a sense they guide me, don't push me or force me in any way. When we look at it, we just participate in that moment and lose track of time and we just are. In this constructed story I literally take the moon down with me and create this alienated space.
