Ștefan Curelici will focus on the relationship between the individual and the social space, on the daily experience of the individual in the urban environment and how it is, in fact, influenced. The project is a research project as a result of Ștefan Curelici's personal aesthetic concerns. Every day we interact with the social space, but routine makes us overlook essential aspects of this interaction. Ștefan Curelici's artistic research for the Energie! Fellowship is about interacting with the environment that influences us. The visual artist will create a series of works that reflect the subjective emotional reaction to the contact with the social space and that problematize the essential aspects of this interaction. The specific approach will be to use the motif of ruin as a central artistic trope. The works will not directly represent buildings in a state of ruin, but will integrate elements extracted from such places and juxtapose these elements over images of various functional public spaces.
