Six months after its premiere in Germany, the exhibition "Resonances" is presented in the artists' homeland, in a new context at MBR. Three Moldovan artists — Valentina Arcadi (ceramics), Victoria Tonu (jewelry), and Victoria Viprada (photography, installation), with support from Karen Grigorean (sound, motion) — use the ancient Cucuteni-Trypillia culture as their starting point. This ancient civilization, which existed in present-day Moldova, Romania, and Ukraine around 5200–3500 BCE, left an archaeological heritage that readily serves as a paradigm for creative interpretation.

As a result, Valentina Arcadi and Victoria Tonu create a new structure based on the transformation of archetypes from ancient ceramics and metalsmithing. Their works represent a synthesis of the past and present, softness and hardness, where the porousness of clay combines with the polishing of precious metals. For the artists, the experiment itself is of crucial importance. In this sense, the project achieves resonance: the objects become metaphors for temporal changes. Clay and metal, as handcrafted elements, transform into reflections of collaborative creativity. There is no place for digital technology here — everything emerges from physical interaction, from materials that traverse time and resist modernity.

Victoria Viprada, on the other hand, explores the theme of resonance through photography and installation. Her works address corporeality, the boundaries where the organic transitions into the inorganic, where the body becomes part of space and simultaneously loses itself in abstract structures. The interaction between body, landscapes and metal structures leads to the creation of a new synthetic reality, in which identity itself loses stability.

The immersive audiovisual installation plunges the viewer into a space where temporal and material boundaries blur. Real objects meet their virtual reflections, ceramics interact with ephemeral digital elements, creating an effect that might be termed “time blur.” In this interplay of sound and image, past and present merge into a unified whole.

The "Resonances" project extends beyond the exhibition hall into the world of fashion and the runway. The collaboration among the artists generates new projects: a series of jewelry pieces by Victoria Tonu; photographs by Victoria Viprada, which form the basis for textile patterns in a new collection by Julia Allert; and Valentina Arcadi's ceramic elements, which become focal points for further research in this collection.
