BIO
Lăcră Grozăvescu (born in Caracal, 1996) is a Romanian visual artist whose work centers around documenting space and a constant interest for the relationship between humans and their environment. Lăcră examines the ability of images to activate individual memories that cause a sense of synchronic belonging, the analogy of the identity, not to make the individual's uniqueness trivial, but to prove the appropriateness of human behavior. To express her vision of the world, the artist uses mediums such as photography, collage, and film. Her work reflects personal experiences, analyzing topics such as anxiety regarding life and death, memory, time, identity and feminism. In recent years, Lăcră had various collective/solo exhibitions in Romania, Italy, Greece, UK, and The United States. Currently, Lăcră lives and works in Bucharest, Romania, and she studies Photography & Dynamic Image at the Bucharest National University of Arts.
