MARIUS RITIU
Marius work explores nationhood, borders, and nationalism, reflecting on global responsibility and collective consciousness. Differences, instead of uniting us, are turned into barriers—yet from space, no such lines exist. This perspective invites radical revisionism. He has been working with copper, a material that physically and symbolically connects the world. Used in communication and transport, it shapes the mobility of ideas, goods, and people, influencing the nature of borders. In alchemy, copper is linked to Venus, tying it to both human history and the cosmos—an intersection central to his practice.
