Mi Kafchin
Self-Fulfilling Prophecy
This first monograph on the artist presents her biographical and artistic cosmos in its entirety. Kafchin’s challenging journey can be followed through an extensive interview with the artist and accompanying notes on each of the forty paintings and sculptures reproduced. The story begins with the boy Mihuț Boșcu Kafchin, who grew up in Galați, Romania, and then studied at the acclaimed Art Academy in Cluj-Napoca, and ends – for now – in Berlin, where Kafchin has built a new home and identity for herself under a female name. Beyond the personal biography of Kafchin, this publication offers an insight into the buzzing Romanian art scene of the post-Ceaușescu era.
