On the course of her photographic career, Ioana Cîrlig has documented the many faces of contemporary Romania

by admin

She focuses on remote communities that might otherwise remain invisible: her book Post Industrial Stories portrays the life of the country’s mono-towns after their mines and factories have closed.

Cîrlig’s ongoing series Zâne takes the viewer even deeper into the Romanian landscape — into mountains and woods seemingly untouched by modernity, revealing the rich history and connection to the wilderness of the communities who live there. In delving into these spaces, it produces a nuanced portrait of a Romanian female identity that is both traditional and contemporary.
