This book illuminates the interconnections between politics and religion through the lens of artistic production, exploring how art inspired by religion functioned as a form of resistance, directed against both Romanian national communism (1960-1989) and, latterly, consumerist society and its global market. It investigates the critical, tactical and subversive employments of religious motifs and themes in contemporary art pieces that confront the religious ‘affair’ in post-communist Romania. In doing so, it addresses a key gap in previous scholarship, which has paid little attention to the relationship between religious art and political resistance in communist Central and South-East Europe.
„Mulți dintre noi își exorcizează decepțiile, deprimismul și nevrozele generate de senzația inutilității prin sport, muzică, gastronomie, grădinărit, sex, turism cultural, pescuit sau vânătoare. De ce n‑ar figura calofilia, bibliofilia sau însăși libromania printre metodele de destrămare a constrângerilor? În cuprinsul elitelor, indiferent de meserii și vârste, toată lumea exaltă, fie detectând în trecut, fie proiectându‑și nostalgiile acolo, calitățile elementare de odinioară: buna-cuviință, bunele maniere, buna dispoziție, credința, responsabilitatea, moralitatea, arta de a fi cuminte, înțelept, hedonist cu simț civic și energie coagulant‑comunitară, într‑o bonomie convivială care să constituie și plămada nepoților destinați viitorului. Ce alt simbol ar fi mai nimerit pentru toate acestea de nu podul plin cu amintirile familiei, care constituie ceea ce reprezintă acoperirea bancară în aur, ca garanție valorică pentru bietele bancnote șifonate care circulă pe piață?“ – DAN C. MIHĂILESCU
The Man with a Single Camera provides an extraordinary overview of Ion Grigorescu's body of work since the late 1960s until today. Regarded as one of the key protagonists of Eastern European conceptualism, the Romanian artist advocates a radical convergence between the organic and spiritual, an uninhibited immersion of life into art. The concept of “reality” is at the heart of Grigorescu's work. His ritualized actions and intimate performances, his films and photographs, and his paintings and writings allow, in a unique and antitraditional manner, existential concerns to proliferate. This book is a result of long-term research conducted in the artist's archive. It brings together a complete selection of source materials and theoretical contributions, which grasp the complexity of the social and political surroundings in which Grigorescu has worked, and provides an extended insight into the particularity of his artistic strategies.

„Când, odată sorbiţi de fluxul demenţial al oraşului, vă veţi ciocni de mersul enervant de încet al unui zdrahon cu părul alb, păşind agale, boiereşte pe lângă pereţi, să ştiţi că-i foarte posibil ca eu să fiu acela. Ca să fiţi siguri de asta, plasaţi fulgerător îndemnul Hai, tataie, hai mai repede. Dacă veţi auzi răspunsul mulcom Poftiţi, luaţi-o dumneavoastră înainte, că eu nu mai am unde să mă grăbesc, atunci nu mai e loc de îndoială: eu sunt ăla.“ (Dan C. MIHĂILESCU) „Nerăbdători, sărim peste etape, le ardem, neglijăm esenţele, facem afirmaţii categorice şi încercăm să realizăm lucruri fără a le cunoaşte natura intimă. Cam aici...
