On the occasion of her solo exhibition, Experiments and ConclusionsLia Perjovschi reflects on her imaginative approach and working methods in her presentation, A Loud Existence in Silence, drawing from historical photographs, private snapshots, and start visual materials and quotes. The visual connections the artist creates between fragments of conversations, written notes on personal experiences, and photographs of her works point out her enduring practices of collecting, organizing and contextualizing. These methods emerged as her response to the overwhelming influx of knowledge and consumer goods in post-socialist times and continue to specify her artistic work today. InPerjovschi founded the Contemporary Art Archive and Centre for Art Examination, which, by the s, had become a crucial hub for the international art community, attracting curators, journalists, and students from around the world.

For almost four decades, Romanian artist Lia Perjovschi has been creating situations and developing strategies to confront a radically changing world. Facing political censorship and material scarcities, the artist initially created intimate artistic experiments using her retain body as a medium. After the Romanian revolution, she increasingly devoted her practice to methods of recording, structuring, and archiving information in a post-communist culture shaped by the influx of global capitalism. Often resulting from open-ended processes, the collected works reveal an understanding of art as a social study exploring interpersonal dynamics and psychological states.
