“Why go outside when everything happens inside my head” is an illustrated monologue on the conflict between the gregarious, reachable, always with your phone fully charged being and the OUT-OF-REACH emotional being. By contrast, vulnerability, fear, conflict is encapsulated into a moving plastic frame, paper and sponge. The space is filled with pieces of paper, covered with thoughts, a kind of dadaist exercise, an automatic dictation, forcing you to look around without revealing the details. A frivolous portrayal – WOW, FUN, LOL – easy to digest, easy to forget of the invisible life, that performs beyond the small or big screen, but never completely disconnected.

Andreea Chirică is an artist and graphic novelist. In 2011 she published her first graphic novel: The Year of the Pioneer, and she participated at ComicCon New York and Barcelona. She collaborates with DOR Magazine, Scena9 and recently she illustrated the Răzvan Exarhu essays collection. She was part of ComiXConnection exhibition, “Shrinking Cities” exhibition at MNAC, Muzeul Bucureștiului, European Salon of Comic Book (2016), Mora Art Centre, Bucharest. The second book, “Home alone”, was selected for the main exhibition at the Romanian Design Week and won the illustration prize at “Cele mai frumoase carti din Romania” contest. The next exhibition will be at Visual Kontakt Gallery in Cluj-Napoca. She keeps an online drawing diary on instagram.com/persoana_fizica.

“Why go outside when everything happens inside my head” este un monolog vizual despre conflictul dintre a fi vizibil, abordabil, cu bateria plină la telefon și mereu funcțional emoțional. Prin contrast, există reprezentarea vulnerabilității, a fricii, a conflictului interior într-o imagine de plastic, hârtie și burete, în mișcare. Spațiul este umplut cu hârtie pe care artista scrie tot ce îi trece prin cap pe parcursul unei zile, un fel de exercițiu dadaist, dicteu automat, care fură privirea fără să te lase niciodată să vezi detaliile. O reprezentare frivolă – WOW, FUN, LOL – ușor de digerat, ușor de uitat, a vieții invizibile, care se consumă dincolo de ecranul telefonului și a calculatorului, dar niciodată complet în afara lor.
