In LIFELIKE: as we wait we have decided to create a waiting room. An installation space to rethink the dynamics of modernity through the process of slowdown and delay, asking ourselves the role that rural life plays as a transitory stage in the process of development or a space of resistance to emancipate time from the stream of production. 

Lifelike was started as a tryptic work- in progress that aims to rethink the afterlife of animals in the context of displacement. In Viișoara, due to the lack of active hunting, we focused on the living animals instead of totems, to still engage on the topic of power dynamics, dependency, food, and labour. 

We intentionally omitted to discuss the topic of the usually considered majestic animals and decided to focus on  birds, bees and dogs as they are a huge part of our current ecosystem influencing its dynamics, resources or their scarcity.

Collaboration between Ioana Țurcan and Pablo Ramirez Gonzalez as part of their residency at Acasă la Hundorf/Home at Hundorf in autumn of 2022 and exhibited at Turnul Tăbăcarilor, Târgu Mureș under the name “Acasă: o lume între uitare și persistență”/𝐇𝐨𝐦𝐞: 𝐚 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞
