Visions of excess. Brittle, blue-veined, glassy-eyed solitude, half human, half divine, as only fever stricken dreams can mold consciousness back into a state of cannibal delicacy, a waste land which has not been fully conquered over.
The Centipede Sun, the obsessive and lugubrious eye, the hydra-headed eye of fear, the eye that was dreamt by Bataille at the very boundaries of being, where seductiveness and horror face each other in a circular, weightless movement, doing violence to ourselves so we might live with others.
Nothing is fixed, nohing is comprehensible, everything has been looked at, rubbed, caressed up to the point where air becomes electric, wires of high voltage despair, growling, guttural throbbing continents of lust slipping into the sea.
Sleep dreamlessly, sing quietly, here, in the deep cellar of the human heart, underneath, below the deepest foundations, where everything topples into dust.

MIHAI GRECU was born in Romania in 1981. After studying art & design in Romania and France, he has been pursuing his artistic research at the Fresnoy Studio of Contemporary Arts. Recurring topics such as distress, cloning, hallucination, city life and war articulate the whole of his exploration of mysterious and subconscious beginnings. These visual and poetic trips, mix several techniques and styles and may be seen as propositions for a new dream oriented technology. His work hes been shown in numerous film festivals (Locarno, Rotterdam, Festival of New Cinema in Montreal) and exhibitions (“Dans la nuit, des images” at the Grand Palais,”Labyrinth of my mind” at the Cube, “Video Short list: the Dream Machine” at the Passage du Retz, “Studio” at “Les Filles du Calvaire” Gallery, etc).
