The Dark Side of the Flag, part 02 – “One Hundred”

Vidéo | mp4 | couleur | 10:0 | Roumanie | 2018

Happy 100, Romania. You`re old today, yet younger than most of Europe`s countries. Why linger on the past, since you let it be destroyed by ignorance and carelessness? Why dream of a bright future since you keep birthing corrupted leaders and let them pollute you? Why didn`t I leave you when all left? Maybe because you would have felt a little emptier without me? Or I would without you? I slap myself 100 times for your inability to become what I want you to become, my sad backward country. Would you slap yourself for me too?

Radu B. Boeru Date of birth: 30. 09. 1977 E-mail: radu.boeru@gmail.com Studies: 1996 - 1998: Graphics Dept. at the National Art Institute in Kishinev, Republic of Moldova. Specialisation: classical graphics, engraving techniques. 1998 - 2002: Graphics Dept. at the National University of Arts in Bucharest. Specialisation: digital graphics & advertising. I worked since 1999 in advertising, first as a copywriter then as an art director and creative director. Since 2013 I work at my own studio and experiment with different art genres, video being by far my favourite. I also experiment with painting and sculpture, audio recordings and poetry. At the moment I work on two lyrical journals and a whole series of short experimental films, hopefully will rise some funds to start a long feature film in the near future.
