    My project proposal was "Portrait of a village in contemporary art" in which I wanted to use typical means of photography as document and translate them into visual art language, namely painting. In short, I wanted to photograph all the people in the village where I was born, Josenii Bârgăului, as if to paint them. The project supports three main theoretical analysis: interculturalism, cultural mutations and migration.

    Interculturality defines relations between different cultures and how they combine. If the village can be intercultural ethnic nature in which individuals are influenced by other ethnic groups with whom they come into direct contact as the example of villages inhabited by Saxons, Hungarian, Hebrew, Romanian and Roma. A second variant of multiculturalism is globalization, which penetrates the most remote villages and is manifested by the acceptance of customs and traditions "foreign" to elderly we dressed in national costume and Nike sneakers, Halloween party in the country, internet cafes, etc. Cultural mutations are the visible changes that occur in individuals after coming into contact with other cultures. These mutations occur amid misunderstanding traditions or a desire to adapt to new living conditions for migrants are either those who remain at home but "emancipate" technical. An example is a cultural shift may be called pig slaughter and preparation of the Romanian communities, according to customs in the EU country where the laws of slaughtering animals or watching different shows "high intakes" to the public in rural areas.

    Emigration is a phenomenon that took scale after the communist regime and after the opening of borders after Romania joined the EU in particular because of economic conditions. An example: in a village in Transylvania had to present to the Service of compulsory military recruitment forty-six boys who turn twenty years. Of those who received the order of recruitment thirty-nine were left to work in Spain will make that seven military. To enroll in the army were present as the other four were only three left the country recently.

    During the project we found that the same mutations that we studied the characters of the village and found myself putting my imprint on the rural problem with the changes experienced by intercultural extensive process of globalization, migration, acting upon me as an artist. We found that problems are common, for economic reasons they emigrate to Spain I "emigrate" in Iasi, with the same common point ... fulfillment.

    Intercultural and cultural changes in rural areas As mentioned above, the master project proposal was to document the artistic forms through an aesthetic meanings, transformations can be observed visually from the traditional Romanian space. As a method of expression, the draft was a work in progress photos are made for different situations to pace himself for work or leisure peasants. But to better understand how the man from the country "becomes" must understand what is rural Rural areas

    Must be said from the outset that the rural area is defined differently from country to country. There are also countries that have no official definition of rural (eg UK, Belgium). Netherlands until recently used in agriculture indicators, statistical to highlight the rural area . The concept of "rural" includes three defining elements: a statistical category (which reflects a form of territorial administration) has a morphological and "natural" (in comparison to urban) is also a social and historical dimension policy (rural expressed and established historical relationship between population and territory it occupies).

    Romanian rural area Largely rural in Romania has followed a different route from the West areas. Political and economic course that Romania is engaged in the nineteenth century through the gates wide open for ideas and European institutions, has generated great debate on the way he should go, country, debate has been waged between "Europeanists, who felt Romania part of Europe and insisted to the economic and social development path followed by the urbanized and industrialized West, and traditionalists, emphasizing the character of Romanian agriculture, in the past sought to develop local models in the village considered the cradle of Romanism. " The process of "socialist transformation of agriculture was far from following a linear development, bottom-destruction of Communism in Romania was organized, made manifest by the violence of power to all components of our existence: biological, ideological, political, economic, administrative .

    Josenii Bârgăului. "Case Study" We chose that make this documentary in the village where I was born and grew up to fourteen years for two reasons. First reason is subjective, being involved in human interaction with that community and the second was that the countryside has always been measured by a home for work. This village-Bârgăului Josenii is nothing more special than any other village in Romania, is a normal village where normal things happen, mutations "normal", typical of any rural community transformation. Josenii Bârgăului is located 17 km NE of Bistrita city, Romania.

    Documentarea.Portretul A History of the portrait could study a very broad subject but what I care for this project is simple documentation physiognomies people. Therefore I have chosen as "finished materials" photography. Photo of iconographic point of view is stronger than the painting, is more accurate and "right" to reproduce a situation or person. It is in itself evidence of the reality they represent. Charles Sanders Peirce wrote that 'photographs, especially instantaneous photographs, are very instructive, because we know they are in some degree like the objects they represent new and desire to transform the rural culture is manifested in two ways: they appear to international brands in fashion, TV's replaced some traditional dance, actinic balls or collective community, acceptance of technologies and "benefits" of modernity, windows, audio systems, internet, etc.. The same mutations are observed to me that the supposed "guinea pigs" of mutations such as in fashion and acceptance trends approximate conformism with western fashion, skate-er, earrings, hair. The technology is manifested through artistic documentation made the internet, connecting to websites and online galleries.

    The project started in 2005 but could not be continued due to financial problems. Time is an important component of the project is one that gives continuity and fluency.
