Irina Gheorghe is an artist. She works primarily with performance, in combination with installation, drawing, photography or video, to address the tensions inherent in the attempts to speak about things beyond our possibilities of observation, from extraterrestrial life to hypothetical planets. Since 2009, Irina has also worked with Alina Popa as part of the artist duo The Bureau of Melodramatic Research (BMR) to investigate how passions shape contemporary society. Since January 2019 she is also part of the Psychedelic Choir. She studied Painting and Photography at the National University of Arts Bucharest and has recently completed a PhD in Artistic Practice at GradCAM, TU Dublin.
