The Last Days of Summer

The video follows the explosion of energy within the local public swimming pool in Iași, Romania. The outdoors pool-park has as a main attraction the Olympic pool with its towering high diving platform, the only one from the city. The sky-high structure remembers along with the background buildings of the socialist past. Its height and thrill tempt people of all ages, each and everyone looking to face their fears and jump into the blue water. Each is showcasing their guts, or even their skills. Everyone is enjoying this last day of summer. The park will close de day after, since it's the end of August and summer is over. Everyone will have to wait for the next year's end of May to face the diving platform again.

Director Biography - Silvia Amancei & Bogdan Armanu

Silvia Amancei and Bogdan Armanu (b. 1991, Iași and Timișoara) is an artist couple working together since 2012. Their artistic practice could be positioned at the border between social studies and visual art, researching for methods and examples where art and artistic means can be instrumentalised in order to overexcite the ability to look beyond capitalism.
