The natural “biofilm” of this historically and politically charged building is projected live onto the structure’s façade. The façade represents the visible face of the building’s exterior shell. The monument’s outer skin—its patina—is in a constant state of flux, and this process is made visible on its “face,” creating a symbol of “life.” Art is a form of reflection, a mirroring of subjective perceptions. Individual creative processes give rise to new thoughts and forms ”CULTURAL PRODUCTS”

The Palace of Parliament (Palatul Parlamentului), also known as the “House of the People” (Casa Poporului), is the second-largest building in the world, surpassed only by the Pentagon. It was constructed between 1984 and 1989 according to the vision of Romanian President Nicolae Ceauşescu.
Following Ceauşescu’s execution in 1989, heated debates arose regarding the future use of this monumental structure. Two years later, in April 1991, a decision was reached: the Neo-Baroque building was renamed the “Palace of Parliament” and has since served as the seat of the Romanian Chamber of Deputies and the MNAC (National Museum of Contemporary Art).
The decision was made not to demolish the parliament building; it remains standing as a witness to history, bearing the traces of its past.
