KLTZ. PMZ. AAAAAA! Madalina Zaharia

6 November – 7 December 2013

All gestures are liberating if they are correctly misused.

Kltz. Pmz. Aaaaaa! is the phonetic representation of a popular catchphrase from one of the first adverts to be aired on still pre-capitalist Romanian television in the early 90s. Kltz. Pmz. Aaaaaa! explored the peculiar relationship between sound and nonsense, between onomatopoeia and the realm of history.
