Our friend Maria Nitulescu invites all to her solo exhibition: “At the Crossroads of Memory” taking place at the Till Richter Museum, Schloss Buggenhagen, Buggenhagen (near Usedom), Germany.
The exhibition goes until 31 August 2025.

panning two rooms, the exhibition explores the profound connection between memory, scent, and material. Central to the installation is the scent of hay from Romania, triggering involuntary memories that evoke both personal and collective histories. The works draw on her own experiences, the particular aroma of Transylvanian hay (shaped by its rich diversity of plants), and the traditions of her Romanian homeland. Using scent, fabric from her maternal grandmother’s dowry, plaster, and glass, she creates an immersive environment that invites visitors to experience memory as a sensory journey.
