bodega

   Bodega has a special role in a small community’s day to day life. It’s not only a place to meet, have a drink and leave: people meet here to debate the life that they have. It’s full of conviviality, but in the same time is an intimate place where one can escape from sorrows and problems. You can see different faces, different moods,  different expressions and find different stories, all in one place – the spot that attracts everyone from the village. With one beer, a bit of your time and a camera you can discover a part of someone’s world. Time just stops for a moment and things come naturally.

the pig charmers

     Somewhere lost in the South of Romania, we can find a place called Pecineaga - Dobrogea, where the reminisces of the so called state agricultural enterprise (IAS) are still visible. These IAS were farm lands aiming to fulfill the plan of the communist state of welfare. After 20 years and the decay of the regime they are lost in memories, but Pecineaga IAS still tries to be revived by the presence of a small community living in a strange harmony: dogs, donkeys, pigs, children, men and women.
