On neighbourhood in Bucharest

As a response to the neighbourhood topic I have chosen to illustrate the primitive attitudes generated by the distribution and unruly use of parking spaces in the dormitory areas with blocks of flats in Bucharest. Using a gesture just as primitive as the attitude – of the animal marking its territory – I tried to find a powerful visual equivalent that would place urbanity into discussion, but also the relationship between tradition/force and law, between usage and taking possession of the public space, of the way in wich neighborly behaviour may be enhanced or lowered by individual conduct.

La grande favola di tutti uffici
or
The Fabulous Books Of DocMarCell

Marker drawing on inkjet paper

In which it is told about the myths, the values, the failures, the temptations, the symbols of the contemporary world… everything synthesized in the fables of doctor MarCell *. The drawing-fables comment on personality cult, betrayal, greed, power, destruction, love and fear. (from graphomix blogspot)

* doctor MarCell is a ficititious character invented by Emanuel Borcescu (a pseudonym) and he is concerned with problems of the contemporary world. He is famous for “his conclusions” on autodestruction. (http://docmarcell.blogspot.com)
