Alexandru Barnea Photograph Private Collection

Through colour photographs and slides, the Alexandru Barnea private collection documents the demolitions imposed by the communist regime in the centre of Bucharest following the devastating earthquake of 1977, which served as a pretext for the destruction or mutilation of many historic monuments. The policy of demolishing the architectural and urbanistic heritage has been considered one of the most aberrant and arbitrary measures in the recent history of Romania.

通过彩色照片和幻灯片，亚历山德鲁·巴拉内私人收藏记录了1977年那场毁灭性的地震后，共产主义政权在布加勒斯特市中心实施的拆除行动。这些行动以地震为借口，导致众多历史建筑遭到破坏或肢解。拆除建筑和城市遗产的政策被视为罗马尼亚近代史上最为异端和专断的措施之一。
