The Drunkenness traces the fine line between the unconscious and the present, between form and memory, between photography and sculpture. Starting from a self-portrait of the artist Cristian Rusu, the work proposes a self-evaluation of the way in which the awareness of presence in our space is questioned through a self-portrait of the state of reverie, hangover, drunkenness. What is the fine line between memory and photography, between sculpture and image, between conscious and unconscious, reverie and dream?
