Description Enligt uppgift från konstnären ska alltid följande text finnas med när verket presenteras: "Unknown"-1998 Permanent collection of Moderna Musset, Stockholm. Photos on projection foil fed with a single battery - limited source of energy For the second time in my life I found myself in front of such an image; the first time when I was ten, then at 33 years old; both of them incidental; Past and present images and emotions, which I can hardly define, assault my mind: - the places where those children were abandoned; - the position they were in; - the bags and the rags they were wrapped up in and carried; - the nails; - their physical development; - the fact that I was in from of a human being; - the physical and psychical feelings the woman had while having an abortion; - the guilt that we might carry because of our attitude and our mentality; - I didn't know what to do; bury it? - 'Shall I call anybody?' I didn't want to repeat the mistake I made when I was 10 and I called the "Militia" - the next day, the baby was gone; he had been probably eaten by dogs; - the nerve I had to take a picture; text+photo: Cosmin Gradinaru Selected exhibition history En annan historia: I kamerans våld (den 23 februari 2011 - den 31 december 2011) Moderna Museet, Stockholm Efter Muren: Konst och kultur i det postkommunistiska Europa (1999-2000) Moderna Museet, Stockholm The Moderna Museet exhibition catalogues After the wall : art and culture in post communist Europe : [Moderna Museet, Stockholm : 16 october 1999 - 16 january 2000]
