Was founded by Călin Dan and Dan Mihălțianu, later joined by the artist Iosif Király. The group’s practice explores the traumas, clichés, and myths of Romania’s recent history, as well as their perception in a global context. Belonging to a generation of transition, the members of the group developed a strategy of dialogue with Western art, transforming the closed culture from which they emerged into an open one.

The group’s artistic practice developed around the tensions between power and the media representation of Romania’s recent history during the political transition of the 1990s.

In this work, the artists refer to the Orthodox ritual of commemorating the living and the dead, in which candles are lit for each category. In the installation placed in 2012 in Bucharest in front of the former Palace of the Parliament (formerly the House of the People), the two religious categories—the living and the dead—are replaced by the pseudo-democratic ones: the satisfied and the dissatisfied.
