Dorin Budușan

Dorin Budușan (b. 1985, Mociu, Romania) is a visual artist, writer and researcher based in Amsterdam. He graduated from the DOGtime, Unstable Media department of the Rietveld Academie in 2023 with a video installation that revolves around a meteorite fall that happened in his village a century and a half ago. The accompanying thesis, It Fell From the Stars – Alternative Cosmogonies from the Second World, uses the meteorite fall as an opportunity to explore issues of Eastern European migration, identity, history, politics, folklore and myths. The book was selected as one of the best theses by the 2023 Rietveld (Re)viewed committee formed of Brenda Tempelaar and Sébastien Tien and chaired by Paula Albuquerque.
