A man gets on a trolleybus and starts a phone conversation with his wife or girlfriend. Because she didn’t answer the phone, he is talking extremely violent and he threatens her with death. The passengers become spectators, unwillingly.
In 2009, Constantinescu represented Romania at The Venice Biennale, with the films Passagen and Troleibuzul 92, which is an 8 minute film showing a man sitting down beside a female passenger on a trolleybus.Based on a witnessed incident, the realistic account reveals the man having a series of abusive phone calls with his wife, girlfriend or lover (who is on the opposite end of the line), filled with "cursing, accusations, and continuous threats of harm, even murder".As Chronicle Art Critic, Kenneth Baker puts it: the film shows the man "castigating her for making him jealous by being unreachable. He never raises his voice, but his reproaches quickly grow fierce to the point of obscenity... In the Eastern European setting of Constantinescu's piece, in the aftermath of generations under communist rule, uncertainty over the duties of citizenship must weigh heavily on individuals' minds."The surrounding passengers are visibly uncomfortable by these exclamations, yet nobody intervenes to stifle his threats - and in such "Constantinescu may be implying that they are accomplices."
