Mircea Roman ↗

Mircea Roman (b. 1978, Timișoara) is an artist working primarily with video and installation. His projects address the politics of visibility, the archive, and forms of collective memory in post-socialist Eastern Europe. His practice involves extensive documentary research, which is then subjected to radical formal transformation — slowed, cut, looped, layered — until the source material yields to the logic of another time.

Roman’s work has been exhibited at documenta 15, Kassel; the Venice Biennale (Romanian Pavilion); the Gwangju Biennale; and IOMO Gallery, among others. He is the recipient of the Henkel Art Award and the Austrian Frederick and Lillian Kiesler Private Foundation Award.
