The way to heaven

"Viena " confectionary
Cluj-Napoca, Romania 2003

It is also a video and a space. The “Vienna” confectionary was a place where some times I was passing by to eat a cake. The place looks for my unchanged, it has the same atmosphere, furniture like in the ’50 when it was made, I don’t know the exact time, maybe is older. In connection with the video it became a place of sudden joy, a place where you are searching to have your moment of happiness, peace. In my video I’m searching for heave. It is a search for my self “each morning when I whacking up I’m asking my self who am I and all day long I’m trying to find out”. I offered cakes at the opening of the exhibition. It this place I invited my parents, it was all for my father, with whom I had a very hard relation, now it was to late, and I was continuously trying to understand him, and trough him myself. Now after 3 year from death I have the feeling that I am like him, he is in me. This place remained in my memory like a certain faze of my self, I am in a continuous transfiguration. I’m am different things in relation with different people, places, contexts; the search for heaven is a search for meaning.
