Rozalb de Mura STORE, Bucharest: Reality vs Illusion

The mirage haunting the "Desert city" collection 2008 enflames imagination and ludic spirit at Rozalb de Mura. Reality versus Illusion and their flou and slippery boundaries obsessively mark the interior design solution proposed by Liste Noire.  

At Rozalb de Mura STORE in Bucharest, Romania, Reality affably welcomes you in the first room. Any Romanian is familiar with it. The iconic living-room, aesthetic benchmark multiplied in the copying machine of times. In a project nearing interior design to an anthropological exercise, Liste Noire recreates like in a lab or a museum the prevalent Romanian living room typical of the last decennia.  

The ominous brown veneer perplexingly matches the blue walls and the dark red carpet on the floor. One can barely have space to move around the table dignifiedly installed in the middle of the room. A doubtful light feebly descents from the ceiling. The famous three carnations in a crystal vase, origin unknown. Synthetic lace curtains hang under wide wooden rails. Porcelain trinkets like inoffensive trophies in the china closet. An almost nostalgic ensemble of classics still alive, but surely endangered species in the Ikea-like invasion of the present.

With the second room, we enter the realm of Illusion. A cold, blindingly white light and walls stripped of any detail could be elements in a bad dream of someone lost in the desert. A whitish smoke floods the whole scene in a Lynch-like fog meant to lead astray and confuse. The uniformizing domestic neighbors a strange, fictitious dream.  

But everything is relative, isn't it, and it depends on the perspective for the perception to change dramatically. And from the positive light of a contemporary 21^st century or from the point of view of a visitor who grew up in the trendy chic Western houses, our Romanian living room gets really hallucinating. How else could be the famous identical interiors in the Romanian flats, materialization of a bad dream from a long bygone "golden" era? By comparison, the immaculate and aseptic white in the adjoining room is no other than the clean, purified living style of the modern reality. Minimalist present communicates with the absurd hallucination of the past.

In all this to and fro between realities and illusions, the clothes on the standers are a welcoming presence: objects, materialities and textures that are concrete and touchable. Besides the "Desert city" collection by Rozalb de Mura, the store exhibits Carmen Secareanu and q.e.d. (Berlin) creations as well as Kuki Constantinescu's jewels.
