Catalina Niculescu

Catalina Niculescu was born in 1978, she lives and works in London (GB).

“Absurd and strangely poignant, Catalina Niculescu’s practice exists between performance and documentation, between the live and the retransmitted. Her seemingly impulsive reactions to the places she encounters result in a series of interferences with architecture and urban structures, recorded and minimally edited to create enigmatic events, transferable into film, video, and photography.

Omnipresent in her work, her actions are most often brief interventions that might go unnoticed were it not for the presence of the camera. Presenting them to the gallery viewer suggests that, in other circumstances, something important might have been missed. What that is, or what it means, opens the work to a variety of possible interpretations, while at the same time defying any fixed reading by constantly engaging the viewer in their sheer execution.” - Catalina Niculescu
