"I am a man and I believe there is nothing human which is strange to me" Terence, Heauton Timoroumenos, v. 77

Marius Ritiu and Cristian Bors, that's you. Marius Ritiu and Cristian Bors, that's me. Marius Ritiu and Cristian Bors, they are a fiction which became reality. Marius Ritiu and Cristian Bors, that's the adventure of which all are dreaming, but which has become reality for them. To repeat their name is to guarantee their success and prolong their road towards glory, at least if you adhere to the sacrosanct principles of modern marketing. Marius Ritiu and Cristian Bors, Ritiu and Bors, Bors and Ritiu. They are like a miraculous medicine against the monotony of every day and the anxiety of uncertainty. Public space is their kingdom, as it is also to you. Since February 2010 and the realization of their first joint project, Ritiu and Bors invade their own space. If the titles of their public interventions hint at revolt (Behind the fence, Stressing State.), that of their exhibitions rings the bells of a well established fame and comfort (How to become famous in One Month, This One Goes Out to the Ones We Loved). However, is the paradox of the scenario of the story of their adventure not a trick of their home country. A quizzical eye blink to the restrained budgets of the authorities granting subsidies. The fortuitous encounter in the streets of Antwerp of a bald soprano and a man with an iron mask.
