Manuela Vuplescu & Corina Olaru
and respect. I feel free to build up my stories, to transform them in body art and never interfere into the rest of visual concept which stays fully in the hands of Corina. She has a way o seeing what I think that makes me fully trust her instincts in rounding what we both separately create within our projects. Thank you for this interview Manuela and Corina: our last question deals with your future plans: anything coming up for you professionally that you would like readers to be aware of?
Thank you too for having us! Last but not least we would be more than happy to let you know that after winning some international competitions immediately after launching “One square meter of roots” in January this year, we will present our series in a solo exhibition at Ross + Ross Galerie, Friedrich-
Ainu Traditions
And last but not least, you have established a fruitful collaboration: could you tell us something about this effective synergy? How did you two meet?
would be honored if the readers of your magazine would have the pleasure and time to visit us there. The exhibition will run from 22nd of March till 31st of May 2013. Thanks again!
We met each other few years ago, when I left the business career and came back from Germany after attending the studying program of the Make-up Academy in Munich. We became friends and realized that we have a lot in common so we decided to start our SWARTE project which we probably would have never done apart, as we definitely need the way in which we complete each other within the creating process. By the way, we would like to remember a quote of the artist Peter Tabor who once said that "collaboration is working together with another to create something as a synthesis of two practices, that alone one could not": what's your point about this? Can you explain how your work demonstra-tes communication between two artists? This reminds a famous line by Shakespeare: "for the eye sees not itself, but by reflection, by some other things"...
Actually it’s all based on communication, trust
