“Băile Someșeni / Someșeni Baths presents the former spa resort Băile Someșeni through both photographs and text.
The book documents the “life” of this former resort during the period 2022–2024, approximately 30 years after its “abandonment,” capturing and exploring the ruins and the marks left by people and time. Alongside my own photographs, the project also includes archival images, postcards from the resort’s glory days, and personal photographs from the archive of a local family.” – Tudor Drăgan
