this project represents the completion phase of a research I began in 2008 during the artistic residency at The International Centre for Contemporary Art, Bucharest. it was presented in the group exhibition "URBAN FICTIONS" organized in 2009 by ICCA at THE ARK Gallery, Bucharest, and curated by irina cios.

The curatorial requirements of the program were to initiate a site-specific project in relation with Rahova-Uranus, a central area disfigured by the communist urban planning, situated in the proximity of the House of the People and the Romanian Academy.
