HANDLE WITH GLOVES by Adnana Greșiță Romania (2024)
What does it mean to objectify something? Isn’t the object itself objectified?
“Handle with gloves” is a video essay that explores and speculates on possible narratives embedded within urban landscapes, examining different types of discarded items: the so-called garbage, personal objects, lost objects, or abandoned ones. Through this exploration, waste becomes a medium for understanding the complex relationships between people, objects, and the environment. The boundaries between objects and humans are blurred, and a way of living together with the objects around us is embraced.
Bio
Adnana Greșiță (b. 2000, Craiova, Romania) is an emerging artist based in Bucharest. She studied literature, then psychology and later at CESI (Center for Excellence in Image Studies) in Bucharest. Her main topics of interest are the urban space, the posthuman, animal studies, the relationship between humans, nature and the urban environment along the way she explores them all through text, research, image and video, focusing on transformation and abandonment.
Pebbles Underground is focused on showcasing and promoting experimental, avant-garde, underground, and no-to-low budget projects by artist-humans from all over the world. Absurd, uncanny, witty, humorous, slow-video – all are welcomed, and loved.
Pebbles Underground is an independent project not funded by any government or corporation, and we intend to keep it that way. Main source of funding is personal donations from humans organizing the project, who are artists themselves, and the main drive of the project is formed by the energy and involvement of the organizers, and the public.
