    Palms on Balconies - A visual study of contemporary houses from Romania built for representation,Reinhard Schmidt,Reinhard Schmidt

    Since the revolution in 1989, Romania has seen a big wave of houses built for representative purposes, so called palaces. These buildings challenge in many ways societal and administrative norms and are built by a diverse range of people. Mostly associated with these buildings are people of Roma origin, nevertheless a more widespread audience partakes in this building culture.

    Seen from a social perspective, the work aims to broaden the previously undertaken limited research with a more differentiated approach. In exchange with a substantial range of protagonists and by working with visual ethnography, the project is therefore seeking to produce typologic images that inquire how social status is established through architecture.
