In the summer of 2025 I got the chance to take part in a residency in my home-town, funded by Centrul Cultural Clujean. And so, I finally got around to starting the Tall-Tales project, based on an idea that has been slow-cooking for about three years – what if conspiracy theories are just fairy tales gone wrong?
The result was a series of unnerving toys, cubes, puzzles, a Jacob’s ladder and three Kaleidocycles. They were presented in a collective show at Contemporar Gallery in November 2025, and I kept thinking to myself, I should really make a website. Well, good news!
The whole project, with pictures, videos and detailed explanations lives here now: https://talltales.mariasurducan.com/
Still a work in progress, and hopefully I’ll get to develop the ideas further, but for now, here we are!
