What remains of industry when the factories disappear?
Dan Palade revisits petrochemical labour and the forms of vanished industrial structures: workshops, tanks, furnaces and cooling towers. Painting retains what ruin and forgetting erase.
“Munca fericită” contrasts compulsory factory work with chosen, intimate artistic labour. Titles such as “Nor de clor” and “Ceață de cianură” preserve the toxicity of lived experience.
