ROBERT ANTONIAC
PHOTOGRAPHER
→We first discovered Robert Antoniac’s photographs through LOOT, a local design studio who has recently launched a streetwear line and instantly fell for the Berlin vibe. Robert, 20, who at times goes by Tim Dugan in the online environment, is studying photo-video in Bucharest and started working as a fashion photographer around two years ago.
What are the main topics that get you jazzed up these days?
I’m intrigued by the wave of youth, my age or even younger, that have very coherent projects ongoing, as well as by the clear-cut socio-political direction of fashion.
If you were a piece of clothing, what would you be and why?
I think maybe a trench coat, I don’t know, I feel that it has a bizarre geometry that can give it a sort of very intriguing monumentality.
What is your interdisciplinary dream project?
I don’t really think about future projects or a dream project and if I would have one in mind I probably wouldn’t talk about it.
What are the perks of working in Eastern Europe?
I don’t know if there’s necessarily any striking advantages, maybe the fact that there’s no tough competition and the particular exotic vibe that the East can have, perhaps that’s why it’s so fetishized in fashion at the moment.
Which fashion film do you find intriguing?
I find the film series directed by Wim Wenders for Jil Sander very coherent.
