'Terenuri Fragile' at Indecis
with Csilla Bartus, Tudor Borduz, Ingrid Ene, Andrei Mateescu, Mihai Șovăială
coordinator: Florin Fâra

October 2–22, 2025
opening: Thursday, Oct. 2, 18:00

'Terenuri Fragile' brings together five contemporary artists who question how individual and collective identities are represented, how memory is archived and generated, how urban transformations are documented, and how socio-political crises are made visible. Through diverse visual approaches, ranging from documentary to conceptual, the exhibition explores fragility and change as permanent states of contemporary reality. Each work becomes a form of critical reflection on the environments we inhabit and on how history, space, and society shape human experience.

📷 „Fotografia contemporană surprinde fragilitatea lumii – și, în același timp, își dezvăluie propria fragilitate.” – Urs Stahel

Pornind de la această dublă vulnerabilitate, într-o realitate marcată de crize suprapuse și multiple transformări, următoarea expoziție de la Indecis aduce împreună cinci artiști care observă lumea în punctele ei vulnerabile, instabile, tranzitorii.

Între document și ficțiune, între mărturie și meditație, Terenuri Fragile propune o hartă a vulnerabilităților comune, o formă critică, dar tandră, de a fi mai atenți la ce ne înconjoară.

Expun: Csilla Bartus, Tudor Borduz, Ingrid Ene, Andrei Mateescu, Mihai Șovăială
Coordonator: Florin Fâra

Vă invităm la vernisaj, joi, 2 octombrie, de la 18:00.
