Second Life in comunism se doreste a fi un spatiu de reflectie in care trecutul recent si prezentul se intersecteaza intr-o dialectica integrativa prin fotografii si documente de arhiva, imagini ale prezentului si fragmente de istorie orala, carora li se adauga un workshop deschis publicului, care va nuanta experienta lucrului cu arhivele politiei secrete si diversitatea abordarilor ei hermeneutice.ÂÂ

Propunem o perspectiva multimodala de interpretare a documentelor intocmite de Securitate prin deconspirarea tehnicilor si mijloacelor folosite, cat si prin surprinderea contingentelor supravegherii vietii private si a spatiului public â un alt mod de resemnificare a dosarului secret ca metronom al vietii personale si al cotidianului.ÂÂ

Documentul fotografic si dosarul sunt completate de fragmente de video-interviuri realizate de Centrul de Istorie Orala â CNSAS. Din perspectiva propriului dosar si a memoriei traite, protagonistii vorbesc despre frica, dezamagire, nevoia de clarificare, ori despre vinovatie si compromis.Â

Prin expunerea fotografiei din dosarele securitatii, in studii de caz si instalatii de imagini sunt nuantate atat eliziunea privat-public care se produce in situatia supravegherii si urmaririi, cat si relatia etic-estetic in contextul mai larg al modului de a Âprivi si a lucra cu documentul si arhiva al artistilor, ori relatia observare-urmarire in spatiul public din prezent, prin comparatie cu trecutul recent.

Second Life in Communism aims to be a reflexive space, where the recent past and the present intersect in an integrative dialectic, through photographs and archive documents, images of the present and fragments of oral history. In the framework of the exhibition there will be a public workshop addressing the experience of working with Secret Police archives and the diversity of its research-based interpretations.

We propose a multi-modal perspective for interpreting the Securitate documents by showing their techniques and methods and also by observing the contingencies of private life surveillance and public space â our aim is to add signification to the secret file as a metronome of personal and daily life.ÂÂ 

Besides the photographic documents and the files we have included in the exhibition fragments of video interviews took by the Oral History Centre of CNSAS. From the perspective of their own file and memories of lived events, the protagonists of the interviews speak about fear, disappointment, their need of clarification, or about guilt and compromise. 

The photographs from the Securitate files are present in case studies and images installations set as to nuance the private-public elision produced by surveillance and pursuit, the ethics-esthetics rapport present in the wider context of the artists ways of looking at and working with documents and archives, and the connection between observation and surveillance in nowadays public space, as compared to the recent past.
