In Post-Industrial Stories, Romanian photographers Ioana Carlig and Marin Raica explore contemporary life in Romania’s mono-industrial communities. Romania was heavily industrialized over the course of its 40 years of communism. Every town had an industrial center, and people from all over the country were moved to urbanize the areas around mines and factories. But these industrial centers lost their importance after the regime fell 25 years ago. Post-Industrial Stories documents the changes in the landscape and the relationship between man, his environment and his lifelong job.  The project started two years ago, and the two photographers move around the country in order to live in the communities they document.
