Irina Ratiu
Subculture as memory, Vienna as stage
Journalism, short films, and a living archive of club ephemera. I collect stamps, wristbands, flyers, and testimonies. I listen, then cut the night into a story.
About
Born 2006. Based in Vienna. Student of Theatre, Film and Media Studies. Focus on culture writing, film essays, and scene documentation. I work with a Nikon D3200, Canon PowerShot SX720 HS, and a Casio EX-Z150.
This site is a clean front for messy research. The zine holds the paper trail. The film holds the breath.
Statement
People say Punk is dead and Techno was better before. Scenes decay, then reappear in other rooms. I follow what remains and what returns. What was loved cannot die while culture keeps moving.
Works
Journalism
Voices from the line and the end of the night.
On stamps, rituals, and why it repeats.
Art and collage
Zine project
A zine made from evidence. Stamps, wristbands, door notes, screenshots, and fragments of testimony. Built in Scribus or Canva, exported to PDF. Each page pairs an artifact with a voice.
Replace with a real spread.
Film
Teaser
If you prefer local hosting, link to an MP4 instead and use the HTML5 video tag.
Notes
Shot on Nikon D3200 for interviews and Canon SX720 for night fragments. Old Casio for rough texture. Clean sound on a simple lav or handheld recorder. Edit for rhythm, not coverage.
