Overriding Sequence captures a grotesque and overwhelming sense of emotion. Barabancea’s photos showcase drug users, prostitutes, and homeless subjects largely in moments of shock. His guerilla-style photography does not focus on beautifying the circumstances but captures the essence of the moment instead. Despite the surreal nature of the photography, his work has a factual quality, with its use of film and coarse framing. It is simultaneously both sickening and liberating.
