Between 1985 and 1987 the American journalist Edward Serotta travelled through Romania and photographed its harsh reality. The Romanian secret police followed him all the way, secretly filming him taking his pictures. Forty years later the two sets of images are placed side by side as shot and reverse shot, revealing the absurd side of history.
