“Always observant at what is going on in the media, locally as well as internationally, Ana Andronic (BUZU) often approaches in her work big topics of the day. In this new solo show titled ‘Barbillion’, BUZU questions the recent phenomenon by the same name, caused by the news that ‘Barbie’ by Greta Gerwig made over $1 billion, breaking a historical record for female directors. However, BUZU’s intention in this installation isn’t to feed the media hype, but to draw attention to the less positive consequences of the doll’s influence in girls’ lives and in society in general, like the carbon footprint the toy generates, or the unrealistic beauty standards it promotes. As for the artistic practice, the installation indicates - in terms of means of artistic expression - a new sculptural experiment presenting a direction pretty much different from the vibrant graphics accompanied by text she accustomed us with in her previous exhibitions and projects.”  (Ana Daniela Sultana)
