ABOUT THE ARTWORK
It so happened that buying in one store a box with a family photo archive from the 40s, accidentally I got a few letters written in the 90s. These letters were written by a woman undergoing compulsory treatment at the psychiatric clinic in the city where I am living at the moment. They were addressed to her man/husband and her daughter. They contained emptiness, loss, the fragility of her existence, sensuality and other aspects related to the personal, rather even intimate, post-traumatic experience formed under the influence of a mental disorder. Also among other letters was one letter, the answer from her daughter. In which she wanted to clarify the situation, add a different meaning to the everyday reality of her mother. Exactly this letter was the starting point for analyzing the situation in the direction of the memory of psychological trauma. Exactly this letter was the starting point for the creation of this project. I tried to visualize imaginary letters addressed to the mother from her daughter. About what did she possibly write in them...

Alexandru Raevschi was born in 1979 in Chisinau. Lives and works in Marburg. His artistic work explores questions of social life and interaction with the political system, using painting, sound – photo and video installation. This results in situational and contextual projects that create forms of intervention in public spaces as well as exhibition spaces, acts of translation and archiving. Current research projects focus on politics of invisibility, search for the national identity of individual social groups and reaction to changes under the influence of mental features of the contemporary paradigm. As an organizer of group projects, exhibitions, workshops, the main basis of his activity is in the area of formation of new opportunities for direct discourse of artists, which are trying to develop new forms of social communication within the «big» art world and the free cooperation, opposing the institutional and commercial dictates. His artistic work has been presented at the #00Havana Biennial, Havana (2018), Center for Creative Industries (CCI) “Fabrika”, Moscow/Russia (2017), Museum and Science Center “Arktikum”, Rovaniemi (2017), Gallery “co – ume lab”, Tokyo (2016), East Centric Architecture Triennial, Bucharest (2016), Palais am Festungsgraben, Berlin (2015), Zachęta – Project Room, Warsaw (2015), Knoll Gallery, Budapest, Vienna (2014), Kunsthall, Bergen (2014), Cente for Contemporary Art – “The Ancient Bath” , Art Today Association, Plovdiv (2014), BrotKunsthalle, Vienna (2013), gallery “Cândido Portinari”, Rio de Janeiro (2013), Totaldobže Art Center, Riga (2013), Bergen County Jail, Bergen (2012), Factory – Art gallery, Berlin (2012), the Moscow Museum of Modern Art, Moscow (2011), the Kalmar Konstmuseum, Kalmar (2011), 3rd – 4th Moscow Biennale of Contemporary Art, Moscow (2009-2011), World exhibition, Shanghai (2010), New Museum, Weimar (2010), 1st – 2nd Moscow International Biennale for Young Art, Moscow (2008-2010), Gallery “Posibila”, Bucharest (2008), Biennale of young artists, Tallinn (2007), National Museum of History and Archaeology Chisinau (2006), National Museum of Art, Chisinau (2002), among others.
