Infiore, Joakim Kocjancic (SE) | exhibition

October 14 @ 7:00 pm

With the support of the Embassy of Sweden in Romania.

Over the past few years, spanning from 2019 to 2023, my artistic exploration has been centered around a personal journey in Bucharest. From the moment I arrived there, I felt an unexplainable connection to the city. It welcomed me warmly, allowing me to roam its streets with ease, revealing its authentic and raw beauty. There was no facade, no pretense.

As I delved deeper into the city, I began to uncover its layers. Yet, it was the younger generation that truly captured my attention with their unique attitude, interactions, and fashion. They stood out in the crowd, and I was compelled to capture their spirit. It was both a refreshing departure from my usual subjects and a challenge to approach them.

The tension in these images mirrors the inner struggle I faced with each encounter and situation; yet, it also captures the vibrant energy of youth, the essence of life in an urban environment, and the magic of the unpredictable.

I found myself seeking doors to an alternate reality, one that existed beyond the facade of everyday life. It was an exploration of the unknown, a quest for the extraordinary within the ordinary—like a personal odyssey in a city that transcends cultural boundaries and becomes universal.

As Fernando Pessoa wrote, “What we see is not what we see, but who we are.”
