The Hidden Environment—The Feeling of the Cave
“There are always two worlds in which we move. We are connected with all other people, but we nevertheless each experience what is happening around us in a very different, individual way. Particularly in times of isolation, when one is thrown back on oneself, we occasionally become painfully aware of this dichotomy. In The Hidden Environment—The Feeling of the Cave, Simina Oprescu spans a bridge between the interior and the exterior, these two realities of life, which are in constant flux.”
Simina Oprescu (b. 1993) is a composer and multidisciplinary artist from Bucharest, Romania. She graduated the Dynamic Image and Photography Department at the Bucharest National University of Arts and studied at the department of acousmatic composition at the Royal Conservatory of Mons (Belgium) for one year.
