Dani Ghercã often uses photography to examine the notion of architecture, scale, and power. That is also the case in the series 4 Houses (2015-2016) which presents four monumental Soviet-style buildings – including the Casa Poporului – that were once the pride of the regime. Ghercã's way of portraying these buildings – such as the frontal perspective on the Casa Scanteii (House of Free Press), for example – stresses the power structures they embody and the way they dominated both official discourse and urban space.
