Description
Forms of Representation is a long-term project in Chisinau, the capital of Moldova. The narrative of the project is centred on the architect Ala Kirichenko, now over 80 years old, and the socialist-modernist stationary State Circus that she built in 1981, in Chisinau, Moldova. The project deals with the representation of the social-societal change caused by the collapse of the former Soviet Union and the resulting loss of identity and culture, but it also shows the new grown potential of a country by the example of the protagonist Ala Kirichenko.
Céline Brunko’s project includes several levels. On the one hand, it is the story of Ala Kirichenko, on the other hand, it is a reappraisal of an example of recent architectural history of Chisinau and the artists own interpretation of this “unkown” place.
