Dada City is a photography and video project based on the research
of the architectural landscape of the city of Bucharest.
This series explores symbols of power structures in urban landscapes and architecture,
and how these are influenced by the socioeconomic context, historical situation and
ideological changes of each era.
It was Dan Popescu, a local gallery owner, who, when describing Bucharest, called it Dada City:
a beautiful Dadaist palimpsest that superimposes several urban layers and a diversity of
architectural styles, ranging from Beaux Arts and Neo-Romanian to Socialist Modernism
and post-war brutalism.
This series focuses on 20th century modernism, when you witness a wide
variety of changes in Romanian history that affect the discipline of architecture, such as the
graduation of the first women architects in the world.
Dada City reflects on the ever-evolving relationship between architecture and the society
it serves.
