Beginning of a Coherence

kinema ikon, Valentin Constantin / Romania / 1981 / 8 min.


synopsis

A story of a man, a woman, and an image that cannot be retold but which somehow holds together, perhaps thanks to the endless corridor in which the individual actors meet and exchange telling glances. As a bonus, there are fragments of the Romanian eighties in the form of filterless cigarettes, battering rams, long coats, and mustaches.

biography

Valentin Constantin (1956) also worked as a theoretician in the Kinema Ikon art group. In the 1980s, he actively participated in the famous interdisciplinary meetings Intermedia 1 (Image in Artistic Discourse) and Intermedia 2 (Interval in Artistic Discourse). In the 1990s, he was a member of the editorial board of Conversatia magazine.
