Blue Screen #6: Adina Ionescu-Muscel

Adina Ionescu-Muscel is a belgo-romanian visual artist living and working in Brussels. She studied Psychology in Bucharest, Anthropology and Photography & Video in Brussels. Her practice involves installation, photography and video. Since 2020 she became interested in experimenting with 16mm film and started making work in LaboBXL.

During Blue Screen # 6 we will show two films and an installation by Adina Ionescu-Muscel. We will start with “I never saw her since” (2019), a film that Adina made around her family’s house, confiscated by the Romanian communist regime and transformed into the headquarters of the Secret Police.

The film “Metamorphosed bodies of the star that generates us” (2021) is part of an ongoing research where Adina is using and experimenting with ‘silver halides’ to inquire about the inner world of plants. Next to these two films we will show “Constellations” (2022) an installation that she made in the cemetery of Namur, consisting of nine light boxes in which she used a chemical analysis called ‘chromatography’.

In dialogue with the practice of Adina we will show a selection of works by Alasdair Asmussen Doyle, Rosa Aiello and a collaborative film by Luke Sieczek, Caryn Cline and Jon Behrens.

Blue Screen is produced by Level Five and hypernuit, with the support of the Vlaams Audiovisueel Fonds (VAF).
