Mihai Platică - Centrul de interes, by Bianaca Vitcu, 1st year ITA

I  have been to Centrul de Interes, the well-known art place in Cluj Napoca, and visited the exhibition called ”Pillars of creation”, of the contemporary photographer Mihai Plătică, famous for his technical rigour, without lacking a deep, emotional emphasis.

Inspired by archaeological discoveries, Nasa research or even familiar places where he travelled with his relatives, the artist is involving us into a constant game between the cosmic space and the terrestrial one, in either obvious manner, or in a more metaphorical way.

The absence of human figures from his photos, together with a sort of music rhythm created by the display of the exhibits, allows us to have an aesthetic experience, going from relaxed beauty to an almost rough, sublime emotion.

You can enjoy it yourselves until the 15th of May.
