Larisa Crunțeanu

Larisa Crunțeanu's practice moves from reality to fiction in an endless conversation with the viewer, through text, performance, sound, video, textile, and large-scale installations. Larisa Crunţeanu’s works create contexts in which facts and memories are reactivated, encouraging shared efforts to recollect improbable pasts and reimagine impossible futures. Many of her projects reflect on issues of commonality and the ideas existing behind objects and stories.
