Ethnographies
Romania
2019
The purpose of the photographic project Ethnographies is to create visual archives of folklore customs and events from contemporary rural Romania, in a context of depopulation and migration.
Felicia Simion started to document these customs during her first year in ethnology studies. She was particularly interested in the way the present can reiterate, recontextualise and even reinterpret the “archaic”.
