Fata Morgana, India personal exhibition, National Art Museum of Cluj Napoca 2007

Performance: In the first 7 days, in silence, Iuliana Varodi will bring back her India experience in the Atelier Rooms of the museum, recomposing about 1500 images and fragments of the poems she wrote during her 16 month journey through the subcontinent. During this week, the artist will recreate encountered or imagined situations and moods related to this adventure, that she will share with the visitors. Three spaces will be superposed here: the chaotic space of the exploring traveler, the intimate space of the intuitive artist and that of the museum. Herein, visitors are invited to ‘browse’ through the pages of the diary of this journey, re-written for them in this space.

         

Open talks: On August 7th at 3.00 pm, invited guests from the art scene and the public are welcome to discuss the exhibition and the double journey with the artists.   
Interactive: Between August 8th and 12, the visitors are invited to take over the place of the artist, composing their own page in this diary, using images and fragments of thougts left behind in the exhibition space. They can take home this ‘memory’ of their fictive journey through India, as an inspiration for future travels.
