The Knight Nicola of Severin (photo: Mihai Plămădeală)
In the summer of 2011, Nomen Est Omen came into the Citadel of Sighisoara to make a video for the song Packington’s Pound. There, we met our good old friend, the Knight Nicola of Severin, whom we asked to participate, for a few seconds, with us in a scene, in front of the Dominican Church, filmed in an aerial perspective from the Clock Tower by our friend (himself) Mr. Victor Veculescu. “The takes” were ok, except for the fact that the armor of  Nicola and the costumes of the musicians were from different historical times. A small detail that slipped out of our sight, but things are’nt so critical as they seem to be: postmodernism will surely sometime offer the solution to use the material, in an artistical context. Until then, Nomen Est Mihai published a picture with the noble Knight in the art magazine "Cultural Observatory", no.586 , August 2011.

Sinaia, mon amour (photo: Mihai Plămădeală)
Coming back in our capital city from the Sighişoara Medieval Festival 2010, the train stationed no less then three hours in Sinaia. Meanwhile, Nomen Est Omen took delight in blackberries wrapped in paper cornet, peanuts in bags and many more wonderful things. Nobody bought a key trinket with compass or a thermometer (shaped as a deer), nor a fanny pack tailored as a shoe, but everybody felt ok even so. From the platform Mihai took a picture of us standing at the window; we took him some pictures from the train, while he tried to keep the balance on the railway. His picture came out much more convincing, hence the idea that in life it’s better to look up.
