Micro
Luciana M. Vulea
The micro project started from my constant interest in simple things – micro acts that can become key moments. Simple events can, at any time, become moments of major importance – be it at the national or global level, or as representative symbols for cultural, economic or political situations. A single person without major influence can convey what a broader humanity feels through a captured moment in time. My images don’t prescribe meaning; I’d rather let each viewer find their own meaning or feeling as they interact with the photograph.
Luciana M. Vulea is a PhD student in Visual Arts and a university assistant at the University of Art and Design in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. Living in a world of images, she draws inspiration from a broad range of imagery and artistic techniques – many of which she integrates into her own practice. As a doctoral student, Vulea’s research examines the insertion of virtuality into the contemporary imaginary. Her role as a university assistant involves teaching 2D and 3D animation to students. Vulea’s work also spans conservation – through the restoration of old photographs – as well as various curatorial activities.
