" Fragments of a Life"
Produced by: Olga Stefan, Camera: Miklos Klaus Rozsa, Editing: Gabi Basalici
Video, 49 min, Romanian with English subtitles
 
Fragments of a Life is a video combining intimate family conversations between Olga Stefan and her grandmother, Sorana Ursu (now 92), with footage, photographs, and other images from the past and present, creating an assemblage of memories and impressions that both support and reject historical events. Through the personal account of Sorana Ursu, whose father was killed during the 1941 Iasi pogrom, along with those of other members of the family now in Israel and the United States, biographical fragments are pieced together in a desperate attempt to establish a coherent narrative of life, while acknowledging the incomplete image of reality they present, the malleability of memory, and the tragedy of forgetting that is an inherent part of survival.

"Daniel Spoerri: The Wild Child of Jassy"
Produced by: Olga Stefan, Camera: Adi Bulboaca
Video, 1:08:45, English and French with subtitles.

The Wild Child of Jassy is the first recording of the artist thoroughly detailing his experiences during World War II in Iasi, Romania, specifically recounting his 2010 trip to his natal country searching for traces of his father, and his disappointment at the land he found. Daniel also discusses existential topics, like life and death, belonging, and homelessness, and the role art plays in the face of meaninglessness.
All events at Humboldt University and SCOTTY are free and open to the public.
