Mircea Stanescu's photo series "Airbag"

The photographs of Mircea Stanescu featured in the Eurozine gallery were taken in the artist's hometown of Sibiu, Romania. In an accompanying essay, phenomenologist Hans Rainer Sepp describes how the images occlude and allude in equal measure: the signs, symbols, and graffiti speak volumes about this society, but are ultimately unintelligible.
