Hours of Static
A solitary figure stays motionless in an abandoned theatre as the light changes across a day.
Biography
Drăghici turns small human actions into rituals of tension, duration and release.
Matei Drăghici creates moving-image works and performances built around gesture, repetition and the public body. His practice transforms minor actions into rituals of tension, duration and release.
Working across single- and multi-channel video, sound and live performance, he records what everyday life cannot hold — disappearance, latency, the distance between an action and its meaning.
For ALTAR, Drăghici represents a time-based practice that treats the body as both instrument and archive.
