Micronarratives and the City - An Annotated Map of Bucharest

Mapping spatial experiences and wanderings through the city of Bucharest through photography, text, drawing, film, and various mixed media, three contributors explore (micro) situations witnessed in the city. Alina Cristea applies her own artistic research and practice, Mira Sanders introduces the act of drawing to represent and explore ways to have spatial experiences, and Ileana Marin examines the creative power of wandering in the city through a selection of Romanian literary works. Rather than aiming for an exact representation of Bucharest, the book makes sidenotes of its urban qualities and to what extent the authors’ actions reveal (or not) the features of the city.
