TANDRU
solo exhibition at WOLk, Rotterdam
8 November 2024 - 30 March 2025

In TANDRU, artist Raluca Croitoru explores friendships not as an essential category, but as an inspirational model for contemporary relationships. She believes that the dynamics of friendships provide valuable insights into how we can engage and deepen interpersonal connections.

The art installation features a video projection on semi-transparent curtains, showcasing the video "A Language that is felt," completed in 2023 in collaboration with WET. In this video, she employs movement and choreography to observe how friendship is manifested in the bodies of the performers. Close-up and detailed shots are combined with a textured soundscape of delicate sounds, inviting the audience to look inward while engaging with the interactions happening on screen.

The video projection is accompanied in the space by pastel drawings and photographs printed on textiles, echoing the scenography of the video. These elements hang from the ceiling on a mobile structure, allowing anyone to interact with them through movement and touch.
